    i reckon a 15 inch wide tire on a 12 inch rim would look kinda like what all the hispanics are doing to their cars

    I'm not Hispanic and I'm just waiting to get my 11" wide Cragars on my Comet!
    Wide tires out back are a MUST for me. I am destined to have them, it is written in the stars.

    sorry blugene didnt by any means mean to offend.ALOT of the hispanic kids around here are runnin them big wide small tires,probable with spacers on them to boot.you can see how it destroys their front ends.i guess it did sound like i was stereotyping and i certainly apologize.

    12" rims

    Hey Bob,

    I live in SW suburban Chicago-- Calumet Park to be exact. I go to a lot of cruise nights and shows and I don't recall seeing many If any 12" dia. rims. Where and when are u referring?
