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.

That's just a manufacturer's recommended maximum. In other words, a suggestion. ;)

I run my tires at 90psi at the drift tracks. It's what all the cool dorifto kids do. Of course I take the air out of them before I put them in the trunk to drive home.

On streets I do 42psi.

I assume you mean bad in a bad way, not bad in that early-90's "bad means cool" way.

'Cause that's just fucking dumb. You could completely destroy the lips of your rims just rolling over a small rock in the road you didn't see, nevermind curbs.

You assumed correctly.

Holy Crap is that possible

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.

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

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

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.

heres where it gets interesting. haha

uh im a noob, what exactly is the advantage of the stretched tires?

To look like a Volkswagen "tuner".

[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.
