Yeah I may be plainly dangerous looking to you cos you got a serious track machine, he aint going spanking around tracks and mulling into corners. It a slow moving "look at me" car.

But you can't predict what other road users will do on the roads, you may need to swerve, slam the brakes on, hit pot holes etc. regardless of how you drive.

I'm only trying to give my opinion so the op understands the risk I think he's running by having that amount of stretch.

It's his car so he can do what he wants.

Every euro VW or audi you see is small wheels sticking out the arches with a massive stretch on.
Euro = 95% stance and wheels

He got the three main factors for euro, low, wide and small amounts of camber. It will depend on the descression of the officers, I been pulled driving home with a full load and arches more or less rubbing and nothing was said about it.

Mate, I couldnt agree more! Cheers bud, Im glad you like the car too ! Thanks again!,

I can appreciate where your coming from, Entirely!, I know your saying its the roads and other road users etc, Yeah the stretch prob isnt best on a daily! But would you run normal fat tyres on those kinda wheels. it just wouldnt work, thats one of the main reasons im using stretch just to get the wheels to fit in the first place.

i never said i had stance
my cars not euro...
stance is like perfected by mm's to get the arch and wheel perfect, its not a case of sticking WIDE wheels and strecthed tyres and voila you have stance
im sure chris and blackvtrt will tell you how many calculations went into theres

Yeh no worries - just trying to offer some advice, wouldn't like to see it written off/broken

For what it's worth, I like the look of the wheels, just think the stretch is a bit too hardcore.

Not sure about the amount of poke, mine catch the archs slightly and I have much less poke than yours on my 9's, but I'll reserve judgement till I see it in the flesh! lol
The stretch is the same as my rears were and I had no problems with mine, am now going more on the front, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Keep up the good work! Whats the plan for the interior? Or is that top secret?

Yeah I agree with Beenie, can we know the plans for the interior or they top secret? Should look amazing when done.

Also beenie I love you sax aswell, looking at both these just makes me wana go out, get some coilys and a set of splits for my sax Euro is the way forward.

I'm by no means trying to gang up on you with the others. But i do think it's dangerous. There's a lass from our area and she's had 2 or 3 blowout's now and her tyre's are nowhere near the stretch of yours.
Plus imo it looks a little silly. I like a bit of stretch and wide wheels, but it just looks daft imo.
Danny Jay had 9s i think on his Sax and it looked stupid from the back and this is the same.

Fair play for trying to go a bit wild and that but it's just not for me.

The wheels look awesome mate, I'm sick to death of seeing the same old shit everyday now, loving what you've done with the clear headlights also.

Well, the angle you took the picture at does you no favors try raising the camera a bit and the car will look lower and give a better indication of how the wheels and arches sit...and then people can pass judgement.lol
