    A thorough understanding of physics.

    At least you can say its for cost effectiveness... Tiny tires are cheaper. But wide wheels defeats the purpose since they're $$$$$.

    I know, its hard to imagine, but its true.

    Well, the purpose of having wide wheels is performance, you're just fucking it up by running tiny ass tires.

    Seriously, stretching tires to run wider wheels is just stupid, and defeats the purpose of having them in the first place. If you want wide wheels, you need wide tires, otherwise, its just extra unsprung weight. If you can't fit the tires, you have no business with the wheels, or you need flares.

    Stretching tires changes the dynamics of the tire, keeps a more consistent contact patch under hard cornering and pre-stresses the sidewalls so they are much less compliant. A lot of people do it just for show, but it's not without its effects.

    looks like it belongs on a monte carlo with an Aztec virgin sacrifice mural on the hood, bass boat metalic flake paint, button tuck and roll velvet interior, rolling with Daytons, in gold perhaps.

    not my style, but if you like it, roll it homee
