Haha!

I barely take pictures of the B5 nowadays. When I do, it's usually with the SoCal Crew.
We're doing a photo shoot soon so I'll post up then.

Are you gonna run 18's or 19's?

I have 17x8.5 wheels, et38 front et18 rear (with the spacers). I just need tires. I was thinking about 205/45. I might not run these until spring or some time though.
K post pictures asap. There aren't many people on this forum with good taste imo but you always seem like you know what's good.

Haha! Thanks. Different people have different taste I guess.

8.5 with 38 offset won't give you the poke but it will sit pretty flushed.
Also 205 would be the best tires to run on 8.5 but they're so freaking hard to find (especially in 18's). I might actually just go 195 someday soon since 205 is almost impossible to find in 18's.

I don't want the fronts to poke at all. Just the rears a little bit. 205/45/17 is pretty easy to find. I might just go cheap and get nankang ns2's since they seem to stretch alright. You can find 195 more easily for 18s?

For some reason 195 and 215 are more common than 205's. I've sourced some 195 Falken FK452's so I might just go with those since I'm rubbing pretty bad with my current setup and height.

Never stretched any Nankangs before but Falkens are the most common and best for stretching.

But again, if I stretch more I wanna poke more.

No one else is joining the movement?

Meh fine. I think less than half of the people in this forum can even understand our conversation.. What are your wheel/tire dimensions and ground to fender?
