Drastic stretch, but it's still clean. Nice car!

This started so well :P

Cant believe you're even driving it on those tyres tbh.

Not everyone will like the setup, unfortunately I only put a few 100 miles a year on this one. A new setup is in the works as the stretch on these are to extreme for my taste.

I buy my tires from them online, but unfortunately none are in the Boston MA area.

Ah, gotcha, I'm sure any wheel or tire place will take care of you if you let them know you are serious but I definitely understand the concern.

I'm not sure where you are located but I've had good luck with discount tire, if you talk to whoever helps you make it very clear to them that they need to be very careful with them or tell a manger to make sure they know to be careful...

Thank you! I got the tires just trying to find a place that takes extra care when mounting tires.

Once you get the new tires and the stretch is gone I think this will be one of my favorites, I love this thing, well done! love the RS's looks very nice! well done....

Tires didn't arrive in time for Wolfsgart but still had to show it.

But it wouldn't.. Those wheels poke past the fenders either way. They look hideous, even with tires that are not stretched.

Ease up Manny, just trying some options out. I'm a big fan of the RS's but as I stated if it doesn't look right to me, then it will go back to a more conventional weave. Cut me a little slack I did hook you up with that blower motor, up in Boston ;-)

I don't understand why you would spend money on tires that don't even fit the rim... It would look amazing if you got the tires to fit.

As stated in my comment I'm waiting on the proper tires to arrive. These tires came with them when purchased. So for setup purposes (spacers) I kept them on. But I would never do this extreme of a stretch. Thanks for your input as well!
