Looks mental.
Can you actually put 195/65's on a ten inch wheel????

IMO some aspects of this car are good some stupid.
Basically it seems to have been built for image/show rather than a need.
Rear spoiler is good and as far as I know that size/angle works well on an S30.
Wheel/Tyre combo stupid and no need for those horrible rear arches.
Oil cooler very vulnerable and if no cut-out behind it would be limited in efficiency.
Oh well different generation I suppose.

Strong words there...if you dont like something or disagree with its application, can you call it "stupid" ? Please explain yourself...
Oh no, here we go again...soon we will have others saying that a 195 will only work on a 6J slot mag..
In the case above, the 195's have been streeeeetched to fit the 10J wheel, but they do fit. I have seen heaps of drift cars doing their stuff with same tyre/wheel set up and tyres remained safely mounted on the wheels...and we all know how demanding drifting can be on tyres.
strangely enough Toyo's recommendations for 195/65x14 are 5.5" to 7" rim with 6" being the optimum and maybe they know their own products. yes you can fit them but it doesn't make it right!! drift guys use the tyre combinations they choose to allow progressive drift not ultimate handling
This is a motor vehicle and I assume it's used on the public roads - the write-up states that it's used regularly. I can't imagine how this car could be driven safely with virtually no front suspension travel and tyres that are not designed to be fitted on wheels of that width. The legality of such a vehicle must be in question.

Lets look at most of the modified BMW's, VW's, Pugs, Saxos, other euro s**t boxes that have been lowered and stuffed with 18" , 19 " alloys
So does your view externd to ALL of the above too ??

Suspension travel = NIL
Wheel & Tyre combo = outside manufacturers parameters & specification
Used on public roads = 24/7
And we havent looked at "horrible rear arches" or body kits yet...
Legality ???

And all those millions of *****drivers with innocent passengers driving too fast/close in the wet with woefully inadequate legal 1.6mm limit tyres and all those drivers with the legal budget tyres with poorer dry grip and lesser stopping distances and wouldn't it be nice to be able to sue the government for every last penny for every puddle/hole and bit of standing water that any tyre would aquaplane/hydroplane on(they should all be executed!).Never had a problem in the wet(not torrential rain where any tyre would suffer) with any on the edge? tyre but then again driving to the conditions isn't everyones forte, perhaps implanted chips might help.Personally i think it should be made a legality to use 3 types of high performance expensive tyres depending on conditions on that day high performance soft deep grooves for wet,extra extra soft for dry and super soft multi siped/block for winter.Genuinely not having a dig but where does it stop and yes i think those stretched tyres look daft but i digress.. Toyo r888, yoko ao48 etc illegal for road use. i personally agree with this because this type of tyre and standing water is an instant recipe for aquaplaning and chucking the car off the road.
Yes it does, that car .
Dale showed is a better job. T.
But I do realise that many young folks would not understand my track-day car either.
accident investigators have cited WRONG SIZE TYRE TO RIM FITMENT as a contributory factor in several accidents! try then telling your insurance company to pay out for the school kids you mowed down at the bus stop! there are also discussions going on to make 'improved' sports tyres i.e. Toyo r888, yoko ao48 etc illegal for road use. i personally agree with this because this type of tyre and standing water is an instant recipe for aquaplaning and chucking the car off the road.
