Hahah, is there a difference in handling with the stretched tires?

[backtrail69]

The only reason you would have to stretch your tires is to fit incorrectly sized wheels on your car. :P hehe. I rock 16x8s and 15x7.5 on my two e30s. You musnt forget the balla B-caps on my 2002 14x6 of fury.

fuckin hot mariano, but now you need to lower the car.

one disadvantage I can think of with stretched tires is that you have to maintain a higher tire pressure in order to keep the bead seated properly. my friend is running 215/35-18 on his 18x10s and he has to run 80lbs on the street to safely keep the bead from unseating.

You should just get some Evo 3 fenders... that way you dont have to roll and you can have them tucked... im sure it has crossed your mind, just an idea, incase you didnt want to roll :/

with evo 3 fenders, they flare out further too so mariano would have to get spacers with the fenders so the wheels would stay equally flush

[CleanAzzE30z]

Evo 3 factory fenders do not flare out more. They are only cut higher. We got into this long ago amongst us E30 ///M3 guys.

215/35-18 on his 18x10s @ 80psi

Holy Crap is that possible

[Digitalwave]

[golde30]

dude, yer letting out the secret..the stickiest part of the tire is the letters....

[euroshark]

80psi is so incredibly unsafe... Good lord... Almost every single ultra high performance tire I came in contact during my 3 years of changing them was rated at 45 to 51psi MAX, I have not seen higher on anything but truck and trailor tires!

By this fact alone, the whole idea of stretching tires has become the dumbest ever.
