fitting XXR 527s 18?

[91_CB7_Sedan]

I call bullshit. 195 on a 9 inch wide lasting 60k ?? Let alone that it would even fit correctly past a 7" rim. And you say you stuck it on a 9" rim while it lasted 60k miles... Yea. So full of it

Calm down man. You obviously don't know anything about different tire compounds. The harder the compound, the longer it will last in more aggressive conditions. Low profile tires have a harder compound, thus making them last much longer.

Thanks anyways though.

Classic case of.

Stance vs. Safety

If it were me.
Id make it happen but only run that setup for special occassion...

Its like church shoes.

apparently you do not either.....the letter rating tells what type of compound the tire is...harder or softer that is. just because it is a low profile doesnt neccessarily mean that it is harder.

And a hard compound can rip just like a soft compound when the tire is stretched in a way it wasn't designed to be stretched.

203CB7TUNER has the right idea. If something is going to be THAT extreme, it should be saved for very limited use. Car shows and photoshoots... sure... slap on stupid wheels and stick em out sideways. But for running down to Piggly Wiggly to get yourself a Twix? Nobody gives a shit how fly your ride looks, and you're going to tear those wheels and tires up in no time.

Modifying your car doesn't necessarily require making it unsafe or impractical. It is a car. Regardless of what you want from it, the 2 most important things are that you can drive it, and that it won't break and injure you. If your modifications compromise those two things, you're doing something wrong. Just because other people do it doesn't mean it's a good idea. Think for yourselves, sheep.

Calm down man. You obviously don't know anything about different tire compounds. The harder the compound, the longer it will last in more aggressive conditions.(I will correct myself) Low profile tires typically have a harder compound, thus making them last much longer.

lol It's obvious I edited the post in my reply. I saw that you were correct, and I corrected myself, as to not give bad info to other members.

I wasn't trying to prove you wrong man.

and i saw that....i am just messing with you man. no harm, no foul.

[deevergote]

A harder compound will be more brittle when stretched, so it is no better.
If a company makes a tire that is actually MADE to be stretched, then that's one thing... but until they do, NO tire is made to be stretched beyond the manufacturer's intended limits, regardless of compound.

Plus, when you stretch a tire, you remove a good deal of its flexibility. Then you run extreme negative camber to shoot the wheels out sideways, and you are literally riding on the sidewall of those stretched tires.

i say if thats what you wanna do and thats the look your going for ... go for it.... like u said worst case situation they dont fit and you have to sell them or you dont like the end result sell or trade them... i mean if you have the funds to back this project then its on u not what everyone else likes or wants to see on a cb ....

Uhhh, yeah, except that's NOT the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is he has a blowout at freeway speeds and kills himself and some other innocent driver...

No the worst case scenario is just how I said it , i wouldn't drive it around unless I know and make sure that everything is put well together to function and be safe.......

195/45/15 on a 9" wide wheel:

I wonder how much glue they use and how high their tire pressures must be to keep it on there while eating at the inside sidewal.

Thats crazy.. looks more like a forklift tire than a car tire.

I'm on 16x8 +20 with 205/45 tires and I only need a small amour of fender work in the rear with no rubbing at full lock....I'm pretty low on eBay coils (installing full body coil overs tomorrow) with no major issues. I can probably get the camber in the front to almost factory settings too. I spent alot of time research wheels and and fitm3nt before making my wheel decision.....i know cool story bro.
