any bad consequences-- the car will fall over.
Really though running to wide tires create more drag. in turn slowing you down. And having a small tire stretched on a wide rim is just stupid, dangerous and decrease the performance in every way! not to mention the weight increase of a larger wider rim / tire!sigpic

15x9 +10 will stick a LONG way out the guards, like a long way! It will be Mexi-flush unless you are running a huge wide body kit or bolt on flares. As Tinkerbell says but in more of a blunt way, it will handle like SHIT! Because you will be running quite a bit of camber to make them fit it will tram track like hell.
I am running 16x8 +38, 215/45 with 3 degrees camber up front and the rim lip in just inside the guard and that scrubs on heavy braking and turning(on the circuit)
There is a yellow dc2 in QLD that is running RPF1 16x9 i think, I will try to find the pics of it.

Originally posted by Fallenangel View PostI will be running 17x9 + 22. Will be a massive headache to fit as you've either gotta get custom flared guards, or roll your guards like mad and also space out the fenders. If you're not making significant power, dont bother with the headache.
