Oh I love it. . . .Just a little worried about the "Stetch" What size wheel spacers did you use? That stance is so sick.

Reminds me too much of those civics running around with their wheels sticking out.
I like the wide tire look but not sticking past the wheel wells. Seen one VW GTI with very wide tires and they must have tubbed out the trunk to fit it in the wells. Looked awesome.

Looks funny. If you are trying to "stance" out your Forte, you have to get much wider rims. At LEAST 17 or 18x8. I would say even go with 9 inch wheels.

I see what you're trying to do. But I think it looks funny with thin rims IMO

IMHO the car has been ruined. It's just not my style at all. I've always hated the stretched, slammed, or camber look. I fail to see how any respectable human being could do that to a car. The first time I saw stretched tires I thought the owner had upgraded to wider wheels but ran out of money for wider tires. Trashy and cheap.
And like I said, this is just my opinion. No flame wars please.</rant>

BUT... if you like it, that's all that matters. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all. Don't let anybody tell you what looks good and what doesn't. Especially not me!

Also, what kind of muffler is that? Or did you just put a tip on it?
If you decide to do anything to your exhaust, make sure you make a cutout in the diffuser, or get an SX diffuser. I think it looks silly having a tip sticking out from under it :P

Yea no wars this is a forum, its for people give there input on the work you have done, and i respect yours but just a fun fact it cost more to stretch a tire then it does to just put a regular tire.

i personally love the stretch look with the camber and slammed just all has to be right

To talk about the exhaust i feel you man, you don't understand how dumb it looks its a 2 1/5 straight pipe with a magnaflow box not just a tip and it sounds amazing i am in the process of getting the sx diffuser

Really? Huh, you learn something new everyday. I kind of figured it'd be really difficult to get them on there!

Yeah, I got a cat back, so I had to either cut off some plastic, or buy a new diffuser. I ended up buying one so it would look cleaner.

I like it. Was wondering what stretched tires would look like on the Fortes.
