At the summernats this year i seen a ke30 with 19s on the back and 17s on the front, do you think that'd be good on a ke20??i was thinking about mini-tubbing it and putting 19x10's on the back and 17x7's on the front and dumping it, do you's think it'd look good or is it too overboard?? BE HONEST!

I saw it too, interesting looking rolla, build quality appeared quite good. Would like to have asked the owner how it drove.

17x7 on the front of a KE20, I have 7" wide rims on my KE25 and to get no rubbing the guards had to be widened (not rolled in 20 minutes by some tyre fitter) just over 1.5 inches each side $$$ the inner guards need some minor mods too, so do-able yes. Just a few $$and the time of a good panel beater. My car runs 16x7 all round because it's a good idea to have some rubber between the rim and the road.

9" diff and dumped, good luck with that one buddy, you are going to need to cut a substantial amount of your floor pan out to accomodate the diff and even then you will have stuff all travel, not good for running 10 second passes.

I reckon a KE20 would look so hot on 18-inch Simmon FR's

There is one here in Canberra, it looks good but very roller-skate.

dont know what chicks you will pick up with a car that looks like a roller skate though..............

The reallly good ones.....

im guessing that my ke20 with 19's would pull better women than it would with 14's, chicks are after something that ppl look at say thats awesome which is the response i get now with 17's

Interesting...........

you guys are the only bunch of losers who dont like this idea so im gunna go ahead with it, ill see you at wsid running 11's and at the summernats winning awards

I guess I will see you there too, as me and my mates have already been doing this shit for a few years. Don't like your chances of cutting an 11 second pass on 19 inch rims though Rolling Eyes

Quote:

your car with 14s will be in te carpark stuggling to crack 100mph gaining no attention

HEY!!! I only drove my girlfriends car out to Summernats and left it in the car park on the Friday while I went and picked up my pass. How did you know it has 14's and struggles in the performance department?

Quote:

you can tell none of you own a fast car, ill see you at the strip running 11's and eventually 10's no doubt..

What is a fast car? My tuner owns an 8 second street registered car, it makes a 10 second car look like a slow car. A 10 second car is not slow though. Judge each car on its own merits and run some times before you start making big claims, an 11 second car is a lot of work and 10's is a hell of a lot more! You won't be running either of these times on 19's in a KE20 either, these cars are notoriously light in the rear end and a car with that much power and that type of wheel combination would wheelspin its way to a 15 second pass.

WTF is a KE20 ?

The poor relative of the KE25 Very Happy

Quote:

You are not your car.

Very true.

All I can say is, if you need to ask a bunch of people you don't know opinions about cosmetic alterations to your car you are destined for a life lived out in struggle-town, perhaps some day you will be mayor.........

If you want to do something just f$%ken do it! Less time typey, typey, more time worky, worky!
