p.s i think 245's will go under a 3dr arch with out too many mods so they aint that wide

reckon they would be a nice rim when cleaned up though

Its just all us pussys running 205s on there and shit makes us think its wide. Looking back i cant belive i ran such homo skinny tyres

You can get 285s all round on R32GTR arches, but ive gone for 10in wide rims and 255s all round, should be more than enough with the right tyres.
