    Awesome! Thanks for the info guys! Another question: Do you two think it would be ok to feed the BEAMS engines lower octane gases? (i.e. 87)


    I think I just found my future rimz. :D

    Now I gotta find some 5x100 to 5x120.65 adapters to get these beauties on my car. :D

    The awesome thing is that these things are located close to L.A, so if I go and pick these up, I might be able to meet up with some of you guys. :D (James and Cliff)

    May 14's kind of a bad day for me. XO

    I think sometime in June would be the best time for me since I've got too much going on with school and all. :sad
    May 21 might work, but I dunno yet... School and parental permission are unpredictable... :banghead

    That looks great Cliff, how bad do you think 15x8 with an offset of 10 well fit with 205/50/15 tires?

    Re: (To be) Stanced Celica

    The "stretched-tire" look is achieved simply by having thinner tires (width-wise not sidewall) than the wheel itself.

    for example, getting 165/50/15 on 15x7 wheels instead of 205/50/15. (getting 165 tires on a 7 inch wide wheel rather than getting the usual 205's)
    Here's a random video:

    Re: (To be) Stanced Celica

    Kinda what it sounds like.
    You either use a fender roller, or baseball bat to roll the inner part of the fender so that it doesn't rub with your tire. People tebd to do this when they put wider wheels on their car since the outside of the tire would rub with the inner part o the fender. Tire stretch and fender rolling are two methods used to minimize the rubbing of the tire with the fenders, which would cause damage to your tires.

    Just search "fender rolling" on YouTube if you can't visualize it yet. ;)
    Hope that helps! :D

    If you're gonna do this at home you've gotta have a hot blow gun to heat up your paint. Doing this before and during would avoid and cracking to your paint.
