I do not now, and never will, understand the popularity of "dubs." They look stupid, they're obscenely expensive (as are the tires to fit them) and they don't fit anything right because nothing was ever made to have wheels that freakin big on it!

Oh yeah, it looks cool to have your wheels and tires sticking out past your fenders...

Doing a couple of on-screen measurements shows about 2" of wheel travel before hitting the fenders. Can't fill the tank all the way, can't bring along friends, can't put more than an empty paper bag in the trunk.  I assume the custom raising "kit" is solid metal rods instead of shocks, otherwise you can only drive it on airport runways and skating rinks. I also didn't see any pics with the front wheels turned... I wonder if they do?  :disappoin

you know, its not too bad, if the wheels were downsized to say 19's

best thing of it all, that car could probably get us more ass than all of our cars combined

Actually besides the wheels, that car looks cool.  The tailpipes are pretty awesome, actually.

OUCH!  Hey...we have college football too :hick:
 
Actually, one of our football players rolls around in a mid to late 90's Caprice on 26s. :yuck:

W-R-O-N-G wrong. But I guess whatever floats his boat. I'd buy it sell the rims and keep the car. I recently saw an impala with 26s. He got pulled over too. Found out he had interior in it with LV on it. I dont know how to spell the name other wise you would know. Too much for the car.

My question is why do these kinda people always pick the sports model of the car that they want to ruin. There is some white guy around here with a classic camaro on like 20/22's. Not that i like camaros i just hate to see a sports car go to waste.

Car rides on 22” chrome Cabo wheels wrapped in Nitto nt-555 Z rated tires that are the following dimensions 255/30/ZR22.  The  wheels and tires have locking lug nuts and are high speed balanced.  All Suspension, brakes, wheels and tires have just over 700 miles on them.  They are still brand new with 99.9999% of the tread.

700+ miles and only 0.0001% of the tread has been used up? Count me in! :rolleyes:
