heshan Wrote:I always wanted to ask and I apologize for my ignorance but what is the advantage of putting tires on a rim that is bigger? For example I'm assuiming these rims are like 10Js and the tires are 225 so what's the reason for this?

Less force on the edges when drifting?

The rims are 15x12 with the 225.

Advantage....hm the short answer? From real racing stand point none get enough grip and not enough air pressure and you will pop the bead off. Now for drift it makes the side wall super stiff which we need in this case because they don't make a super low profile tire for a 15" rim, that and it looks gangster.
