In Progress Pics of New Wheels

Apparently the term ricer hit a little to close to home huh?

No, i see rice all the time, if you own a import your automatically called a ricer because there are tons of retards driving civics with welded on mufflers, chrome tail lights, neon lighting, huge wings, stickers of brand names that they dont even have.

I hate ricers as much as you!

LMAO, proof that you are truly clueless about stretched wheels. You dont have to curb them for them to be deadly. You have greatly reduced the contact patch of your tires, your wheels/tires are not installed correctly on the car to maximize their use and abilities, and that EXTREME stretch you have is just begging for you to blow your sidewalls and lose control. That is what makes them unsafe, not your driving abilities. You are proving yourself clueless as to the extent of what you have done to your car, and FJF hit the nail on the head: You dont know as much as you think you know, yet you want to prove the more educated people wrong.
//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif - Drifters dont stretch their tires or have those rediculous camber angles. No legit race car is going to run a stretched tire for safety reasons, and because they are willing to spend the money to get proper tires (noticing a theme here? Spending money to do things right...)

Your lack of education coupled with the fact that you think you know it all is getting amusing. The best part was when you compared your car to a drifter. People who set up drift cars know better than to do something stupid like stretching a tire. That would just be asking for a sidewall failure, and camber like that on a drifter would be retarded, you would have such a little contact patch of rubber that you would hardly be able to steer it with the rear wheels.

I was providing one example....not even worth spending the time to write a response. Seems like you're clueless.

LMAO. Me proving you wrong makes me clueless? Please continue with some more examples so I can keep using my lack of information to school you.

You are right, those are all riced up too... People should not use performance mods as aesthetic mods... Everything has a trade off, and those people are just pissing money down the hole to get a certain look, and endangering the lives of other motorists while they are at it... Not only does it look horrible, it is going to perform horribly and unsafely.
That is pretty much the definition of rice. You have a decent platform that can be made to perform decently and look decent, and instead you take it to an extreme to where it looks like it performs aggresively but it actually performs poorly and looks so over the top that it no longer looks nice...

Wrong and wrong, how is it endangering other motorists?

Not necessarily big *****, but does this satisfy your needs?

Those are some skanks.

Seriously now, please educate me on how you think this is safe?

Points I want you to touch on are the following:

You have 225 tires, but due to your camber you are only using a fraction of that 225 mm as a contact patch, why not use all of the 225mm contact area? Is less contact area better for grip?

Your tires are beyond stretched, as extreme of a stretch as possible, beyone the limits of what should be done. How do you not expect a sidewall failure or to not rapidly lose all air pressure when you unseat the seal? These are two common failures with tire stretches, please enlighten me on how you plan to combat these. And if you say they are run flats I will only LOL harder.

I await your educated response.

If you think that suspension set up is going to provide maximum utilization of the car, you are sadly mistaken.

And see the other posts as to how it is going to be endangering other motorist. If you lose control of your car when those tires fail, you are a danger to anyone else near you.

This is the first time I've read this.

I probably won't be reading it again. Your car is now fucked up.

I was going to say just because its an import doesnt make it a ricer.

Right, like an emergency lane change in the rain. Snap oversteer will get your attention in a hurry. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

They're run flats....

No, but in all seriousness, I await for you to tell me when and what exactly will happen. I never did state this was safe. I did say that other setups with aggressive offsets and stretched tires are still safe.

Although mine is not as safe as some of those, I have not had any issues for the couple thousand miles I've driven on them. I even posted a picture of tire wear and it was not all that bad.

Only thing that can be done is check tire pressure. And I haven't had any issues with that either. I'm sure if something were to happen, it would have already.

Hell, just emergency braking on a wet surface with that camber is going to persent problems...

And if its not in the rain, a failure from the stretch will be the most likely culprit.

And so is anyone that drives over 5mph over the speed limit, you never know what can happen..that extra 5mph can be harmful to other motorists. So what's your point? You can have a completely OEM vehicle, nothing changed, but if you're speeding, that is also endangering other motorists as you state....yet people still do it.

When having a setup like this, you become more cautious and aware. Especially in the rain, I'd leave plenty of distance (as If I didn't before). You try to argue possibilities....while I'm bring facts. Like people stating my tires will only last 500 miles or only 3,000 miles...proven that wrong already.

I keep waiting for OP to write "Jist kiddin' ya'll", but it just never happens.
