Lexus Is200 SE Project - Chris0121 - 16-12-2020
It depends on the type of tyre I've seen 225's on mine and it doesent look that extreme it's just what people say stretch wise to make fit with minimal work I'm in 255's at the moment and there no way in hell they'd fit unless I pull my arches out Atleast an inch and a half I prefer fat tyres its one of those things if you like the stretched tyre scene or you prefer big tyres

Ha, your obviously into your meaty fitment! I must admit I like it but still prefer my vag scene 'stretch **** as much as you can' lol!
Like I say, as soon as I get them ill trial fit them and go from there! No doubt Stix and jay will be on has for other opinions to help me out!
On tyres, a set of 4 maxxis looked to be just under 300 but I prefer yokohama which are 450 ish or there abouts

That's not too bad as most people on here say that the tyres should be the best you can afford as there was keep you on the road Im not really fussed normally I got 2 225/40/18s and 2 255/35/18s for £100 haha and yh I know what you mean with stretch its down to the whole route you wish to take if your going supercharged you'll want a bit of meat under your right foot but as you say just try some on and see what looks good I've got a mate in the vag scene running 195's on 9.5's that's way too much I think but lol

Lol that's a lot of stretch that mate!
I do want to supercharge but none going! HINT if someone wants to sell up
Ill go for form>function for the time being and hit a few shows early in the season, not to show but to look good lol! When the supercharger comes along, so will the meaty tyres lol
