let me know what you think. and any help on parts is a big plus

wow those are some rubber bands..literally.   mean

Damn, what size is that? That is some stretch on them tires.

i would like to see some different pics please.

Damn!!! Thats some stretch on them tires!!! Nice start.

Like shawn sed ^^^, got any diferent pics of the wagon with the wheels on?? Complete side shots??

this was just a test fit i should have them mounted up today and i will post some new pics tonite.

yeah, I mean, unless you're scraping frame and need to stretch that much to fit wheels... then there seems to be no reason to stretch that much other than to leave your wheels more vulnerable to road hazards. but more pics please, any interior work?

i got some extra ody1 parts if you're interested...

Those Odysseys have some good potential. 
Be careful on those rubber bands. Don't go and damage the shiny new rims.

the reason for the stretch is the van is lowered 3" in front and 2 3/4" in rear. the rims are 20x8.5 which is to wide for this application so the only way to make them fit is this tyre. the only interior work done is a map light install and a honda option center console. i am in search of quite a few products.

there is no reason for all that stretch if your wheels are still so sunken...

also not pictured is the suspension eibach road race spring up front with tokico 5 way adjustables. just cut springs in rear for now. i run proper camber cause it is a daily driver. all four corners i have specialty products adjustable ball joints. i did the s2000 antenna. modified intake box. there are some other small mods i cant think of right now.

when i mounted the next size up on this rim the van sat on top of the tyre in the rear and front.

I like the wheels but definitely needs more sidewall...

Are your fenders rolled, pulled, or both?

damn, must be pain to drive around avoiding pot holes.

no body is all stock.

[QUOTE=tech126;40593]nice to see some side shots..Damn that tire looks really stretched!! How is the ride???[/QUOTE]
it ride real smooth i was surprised. ok i have decide to go with 20" in front and 22" in rear. im in search of a tire for the 22". as you can tell im not afriad to try some crazy shit.

... But you are afraid to run camber? :) 

Are you going to raise the rear to run the 22" wheel? It looks pretty high already with the 20s... I have to say, those late afternoon shots with the sun coming under the car kill it for me... Makes it look like a moon buggy!

lmfao that is the same thing my friend says. he teases all time about it.

tires are too small.

Hey, you must be in AZ, but i never run into you anywhere, Pm me, lets hook up... Working on my Oddy, though its nowhere near where I want it.Here's a pic anyway. Im waiting on my coilovers to arrive before I decide on wheels, its "standing" on 20's right now...let the flaming begin.....
