135/145 tire combos, wat do u think guys?

pyr0 路

135 if you can find em 馃槑 waay less scrubbing 馃槈

VWFOOL 路

let me re word that
135 front, 145s on the rear, any experience with this combo?

pyr0 路

135 on the front yeh but havent been in one with only 145's on the rear, i think the beetle i cruised in had 165's :duh on the rear.....hhhmmmm

you gotta rember if its going to be low (like adams) the the rear contact area of the tyres is lessend by the negitive camber, this is especially bad on wet days, and trying to stop in a hurry.

Yeah, it is a cool thing, but remember the safety thing too.
John Jones from KCW is running 125's all round on his Notch.. But he lives in the desert.. 馃檪

You remove a fair bit of safety and braking when whacking the 135's on the front in the first place. I dunno... Maybe I am getting old.. :duh

PHAT BUG 路

Do it Sam, as long as its on the ground!

I bought another 95/110 R 15 the other week, so I'm thinking 95s on the front and 125s on the rear!

BenettonVW 路

Unity-28 路

Yes, Have I seen that Rhett? Was it your Spare for a while....? You are a Crazy Fucker man.....LOL

N!

Stanley 路

Does that mean everyone will be buying up those spacesaver rims and tyres they use in new cars as spares.....

pyr0 路

hey that was my idea :sandrine

kustomkool 路

Do it sam the looks mad and always works on any slammed dub.As for safety just take it easy in the wet and all is fine,I must ask though your rims must be 4.5 or under for this to work if your running 5.0 or 5.5 run 145 at the front and street slicks on the ass...only joking maybe 155 or 165 on the rear.peace
hey rhette i thought you retired the purple people eater.50 cent is wak ..peace

PHAT BUG 路

Yeah Damo she's still retired, these are for something else馃槈馃槈

Stanley 路

Would be like power steering on the front...just stay away from tram and train tracks

PHAT BUG 路

What sort of rims are you running Sam?

VWFOOL 路

at the moment i hav 4.5s and 5.5s, but id assume for that tire combo id go 4s all the way round...

kustomkool 路

do it sam with that wheel combo it would work mad.As for gettin old Jim im fellin it to brother my beetle is riding a little nose down and stock hieght at the rear but looks the shit with the skirts and all the stickers and shit taken of the windows.grandpa look...

PHAT BUG 路

Sam a 135/145 combo wouuld fit on your rims and it would look sick too!

Adam_C 路

I doubt this is for Sams Red and Black 56......

or is it :duh

TheGermanFolks 路

fuckit, ill go against the grain here. 145's would look nasty on the back of anything. I think 165's look nasty on anything but a stocker. You would never need to run a 145 on the back anyways, you can always get super low on a bigger tire. Besides the perfect rake is a thing of beauty.

kustomkool 路

damn scott aint heard from you in a long time..wosup...you still on that big daddy caine shiat...
