to clarify, i'm all about function. i do drive my car hard drifting and other sorts of spirited driving. i decided to go with a square 285mm setup once my front tires wear out via cossie and other people who track their z's recommendation for better handling and grip.
the purpose of this thread's idea is because i dd mine on very sh1tty nyc roads. both rear wheels have inch cracks on the inner lip which have been welded. the front driver side wheel is warped and has a bent lip from a big hotpole that i missed seeing at night, which will taken care of eventually. that's where the idea of increasing the front sidewall to a 45 series came about. the lowered look without being actually lowered was just an added bonus thought. as of now on stock height, my Borla exhaust pipes are completely flattened out. so 3 out of 4 wheels being damaged in 38k miles is pretty bad, even being forged. my old integra's oem alloys took a beating for almost 20 years and never had a problem, although they were 14s on 60 series tires.
