Pictoral evidence showing the dangers of stretched/undersized tires.

[TDE30]

Yup, really expected to find some actual evidence/proof depicting why those fucktards who stretch their tires are doing more harm than good. Oh well, at least you got the "Stance Homo" part correct. If only people knew that stretching tires is done to save money by buying undersized/cheaper tires. :roll:

Agreed with Trent.

yeah, diameter of the tire is only 4% less than the 225/45/17's I had on it before, but I guess the angle of the sidewall brought it down a bit further, didn't really plan on that. I'm mostly bitter cuz I have to take front suspension off again for the 3rd time in a week.

[TopOfTheLine89]

looked way better lowered on the first set of wheels, now it has the stupid bubble tire look. Sorry to be hatin but your destroying a classic.

[Alkasquawlik]

This probably wasn't your intent by posting this, but I want a shark now.

[Mossman]

buy mine before I ruin a classic, its only 3000 miles away. gnight fuckers!

[machined]

You'll get it...

[Tree18is]

we allready have a KILLER shark on the boards, good luck filling those shoes.

I feel like you should have resolved Hanks battle with cancer before you went about all this intense suspension work.

[Brian 89 325i]

Its looks a lil too stretched for me, and I like teh stretched look. Maybe go one size wider or bigger sidewall? For some reason they look to round at the shoulder, but maybe itll look better slammed. Im sure you will get it just right soon enough.

BTW your car is a guy? Cars are supposed to be women!!

[Mossman]

I have rust free fenders on the way from cali, and a gallon of alpine 2 sitting around.

They don't really make 235 wide 16's, it was 225 or 245. I was gonna go 225/50/16 which may have been a bit better then a killer deal on the KDW's popped up.

I have a buddy who had 3 sixes with german lady names. If you think hank is ugly now, you should have seem him before. He told me that my car needed a name, and Hank seemed appropriate at the time. I've got sexy e30's to name after chicks if I feel the need.

[SamE30e]

I was expecting carnage.

[theox69]

Your first mistake was trying to stretch KDW's.
I mean, they do stretch but very, very little.
225 on a 9.5" is huge.
You could have tried 245/35's.

You also went with cheap coils, which will probably lead you to bottoming out sooner rather than later.
And now your blaming your ignorance on a "fad" you tried to copy.

SpasticDwarf's car looks amazing to begin with.
He's been down this road before and knows exactly how to do it properly.
If you really wanted your car to look remotely like his, you probably should have asked him for a little advice.

[Hartge_H27]

We stretch to run bigger wider wheels. I would never stretch 16's on a shark min would be 17's. I am running 17x9.5 on the rear of my e30 with a 225 tire.
So yea u should have ask for alittle advise before entering the stretched world. its not as easy as you might think.

well, i like the direction its headed..
