Yea, that IS looked like pure shiat in my opinion, What's sad is how people started complimenting it! I dont get it. Sometimes i think people don't have enough character to express their true opinion if any, and would rather get on bandwagon and kiss ***!!

Yeah, I'm not trying to dog it either. The wheels are straight killer and so is the car.

But it's like he went TOO big and couldn't pull it off.
Has anyone ever tried mounting a tire by spraying some kind of product in the tire and rim combo and set it aflame?

Obviously it doesn't balance correctly, or does it?

i have seen a few buddies do it. Ill Roller did it in his driveway once. get some brake clean and a lighter.

balancing doesnt have anything to do with it. when you buy brand new tires some of them come with a dot thats suppose to line up with the valve stem. that way the tire/wheel combo balances out the easiest.

since most of the tires i get are used that mark is either no longer there or doesnt matter since the tire is going to be burnt up anyways.

i see potential in the white IS, if he cambers it in so the wheels aren't so out there, I think it can get pulled off.
and to the OP, nice stretch!

more drop and ---------------camber.

He should have just gotten a slightly bigger tire and played w/ the stock metal.
IMO.
