Default Is it rice?



Ive resourced myself to you guys, the most strict anti-rice ideals, since import sites tend to be a little more biast. <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P>


Do you guys think low-profile tires are rice? I mean, Porsche, Ferrari, and even Saleen uses them. </P>


I am purchasing lightweight 19x9.5s (rear) and 19x8.5s (front) for a Nissan 350z. The current plan is to use 275/30s on the rear and 235/35s in the front. </P>


The reason why I am asking you guys is I am very insequre about rice. </P>


Please dont gang up on me since I have a non-american vehicle.<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P>


Here is a picture of a similar setup (no im not getting chrome):</P>

i definately dont think its rice, and its not because i use to drive rice but the thing is that as long as it looks clean, and its not some obscene body kit or giant shopping cart spoiler, me myself dont think its rice.

Nothing wrong with low profile tires, but chrome rims (any kind) imo look like $hit, glad your not getting chrome

Low profiles are GREAT for handling......but the sucks as soon as you hit a pot hole.

not a bad setup on a 350z they are greatcars.. bad thing about low profiles is your ride quality diminishes and hit a pothole, bend a wheel. if in new orleans, say no to low profiles or open a rim store</P>
