6 inch wheels with 165's on them? That defeats the purpose of having 6" wheels! w:pw :P

This tire isn't any fatter than the wheel and it still looks good. The 4 lug sprints are actually 5.5". We'll see?????

The rear wheels will look wide, whether you put a 165 or a 205 on a 6" wheel, IMO.

"looks" don't get you traction, to me the point of a wide wheel is a wide tire, the point of a wide tire is traction. :P

But on a car like the Notch, with a stock motor, it's form over function in this case. Either way, a 6" wheel is badass regardless! :beer:

Stock motor? what language are you speaking? lol

Seriously though, wide tire or not, it's going to look bad ass. I hope they fit :thumbs:
