      I'll take my stretched tires over your 17" boat anchors you call wheels anyday;)

            I have 225's on a 16x8 rim, very slight stretch

            Extreme stretches (205's/195's on 9"-10"+ rims) put a lot of inward pull on the beads, theres a high chance of losing a bead and getting a flat.

                hey i live in CA, and i have seen many a cars with 12" daytons and 165 tires totally stretched out. the best one i have seen was a car where the guy flipped his stock celica rims backwards, so that the rim was sticking HELLA far out...looked dangerous as hell. i passed him quickly and never looked back.

                    I've always wondered if that would work

                      My friends run extra pressure in their stretched tire setups to help prevent the bead from popping loose. They run 215/40-17 on 17x10s and 235/45-18 on 18x10s. We're talking 80-90psi tire pressure here.

                          I hope the tires are rated for those kinda pressures :P

                            Tall flat sidewalls make a lowered car look like a SUV/Truck and stretched tires on dished wheels make a lowered car look cleaner/baller... I guess you just have to have some dish to like stretched look..something you 9 million kopi groupies wouldnt know about! ahha
