DO IT!
If you're in need of traction, this is THE mod you need. Not only do the wider rims and bigger tires look totally BADASS, the traction when running decent rubber is awesome.
I just picked my Trilogy blown 2004 from Lidio today after the widened rims and Nitto drag radials were mounted, and what a difference!! I used to smoke the tires at anything more than 1/3 of a pedal. Now I get awesome hook on launch. I can still spin them if I mash the gas, but it's only a few turns before they really grab and launch. Using a nice 1/2 pedal stab and rolling into full pedal produces insane launches.
With the 106+mph trap speeds I was seeing at the track last week. I think I smell a high 12 sec run coming on with this new found traction :banana2:
The traction is soooo much better than stock that I think the widened rims should be part of the Trilogy kit:D Well done Lidio!!
