stretched tires

As stated in the first post about lowered cars, some tires the rubbing of your tires causes you not to be as low as you want.  The solution here with this deals with getting smaller allowing you to cut back on the rubbing.  This causes the tire to stretch on the wheel, which I think personally looks pretty cool.  Here is my current tire set up on my car.

These tires are 215/40r18 on a 10 inch wide wheel.  If you have any questions about tire sizes or stretching them please let me know. 

new wheels.

well, as I was home over spring break I got bored with my wheels and decided to go a tad crazy with them.

but yesterday was the first show of the season here on the east coast, and just happened to be down in CT not to far from my house, just about over 1500 cars showed up and just about over 2000 people came too.  I won the best car award and was pretty happy of all the work I put into my car over the winter really paid off.  Here are few photos that were taken at the show.

podcast

Here is my podcast for the week, I just wanted to give a brief description on what the lowered car scene is all about so you guys hopefully would be able to understand it a little better.  Hope you enjoy 

VW R32.

So I figured since this was my first blog  I have ever created before I would do it about a passion of mine.   Currently I am deeply involved in the car scene.  But not just any car scene to say, not the "riced" out hondas or anything along those lines but more of the clean and simple looking car but laying on the ground.  This is all dealing with stanced cars, that are lowered extremely low to the point where it is almost impossible to drive it on some roads.  Lowered cars with wide wheels, stretched tires, and crazy camber are what the new scene is, some people disagree with it but I am all for it and love it.

I currently drive a 2004 VW R32 that fills out this description.

those are a few photos that I had taken of my car when i drove down to Ocean City, Maryland in september of this year for a big car show called H20i.

The wheels are Tracer Tech 2s 18x8.5 and 18x10 and currently 1 of 2 sets of those wheels in 18s. 

Last fall right before the winter set it, there was a final show that I went to down in Englishtown,NJ called Show 'N Go.

Here are a few photos that my buddy d.tek took of the car for a photoshoot.  Hope you enjoy them.

The key in lowering your car is having no tire showing at all up front, while your front bumper lays on the ground, I would say I did pretty well in that part.

^ that picture happens to be one of my favorites currently.

Also below you will find a video showing off H20i car show in ocean city maryland filmed by my good buddy eric shell, hope you enjoy.
