Emz Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 That gate catch should be removed, that's evil to all lowered cars.. although I don't know why he decided to drive straight over the middle of it?? Well we did get a little bored as you started to swap your wheels over, for... no reason? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 165's are the only tyres that look good on 8ks in my opinion! Bigger sizes look crap I think! Get em on! Should look cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is gonna be mint.And i've always told James that he lives in a mansion because his garage is the size of my house. Love the picture of them both on the driveway too!

Philplop Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thinner tyres are less likely to aquaplane, so they make more sense in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) When I fitted my 165/50's on my 8's, he fitted them to the bottom bead one day to seal, then popped them onto the top bead the day after, with two of us pulling up on the tyre to get it as close as possible to the top bead while he used a bead blaster on it.They'll go on, perservere. That video is pointless, those tyres would have fitted normally with no problem, wouldn't even need a bead blaster. And it's much better to use the deodorant as a flamethrower rather than a rolled up piece of paper.

pro3mark Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 The tires in that vid would have fitted fine anyway.The tires look bald.The wheels are in a shocking state.Silly man!I was going to say what you'd done Phil.Who thinks that i should stick the below on Rich's car for tomorrow? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
