Mississippi roads I swear were made for z71s and F150s But at shows and for pictures it will be as low as I can get it!
    make up your mind are you autocrossing, or are you stretching tires... because those 2 combined would be all fail mode

    Um how is this fail mode, I have autocrossed my car plenty of times with my wheel tire combo and have had no problems what so ever. Therefore my mind is made up and I'm autocrossing.

    if you want to do better, and be a autocrosser, i dont think stretched tires is the best for your times young grasshopper.

    Im just saying make up your mind, are you autocrossing..or are u trying to get your fitment correct. because there is no need for a tire stretch in auto X..your just asking for it.

    I honestly dont care what you do its your car...but your kind of contradicting yourself.. A proper fitting tire is whats on a car that gets autox'd...

    I like the style of a stretched tire, never said that I'm doing stretched tire for autocrossing yes that would be stupid. However, for these wheels not to rub on my car in everyday driving with people in the back I have to run a small series of tire so there is no rubbing(fenders are rolled). Plus in the future I will prolly get a different set of wheels with slicks anyways for when I do autocross, I can only run with what I have for now. I appreciate your input though.

    Actually with the springs I am running are soft and made for lowest ride height with best quality ride(before I discovered autoxing and bought for show intentions only) and the old tires I had on the car before it would rub with eh 30lbs or more in the backseat...via picture below, the wheel gap came along when I bought the 195/45 tires to put on the wheels to stop the rubbing issue I was having. so Oh and the springs are a 2.25 drop all the way around.
    car has no people and a quarter tank of gas with original tires(205/55 these were the og tires from the factory wheels)
