Hey Org.

I know tire stretching is something that's not too popular here on the .org but I've been exposed to it recently and I'm sure most of you have seen it. It's popular with VIP or LUX style cars such as ones found on vipstylecars.

I'm currently running a 17x9" wheel setup with 215/45/17 tires. It provides a moderate stretch in my oppinion. Looks very cool.

I know for sure this is not going to fly off the wheel, it's mounted solidly.





Anyone else with tire stretching experience? Different setups?

 

Got any pics? I'd like to see your setup. Thanks!

 

Me 2 Boost this is like the 3rd request for pics....

 

stretched tires =

1. curb rash
2. horrible ride
3. curb rash
4. bent wheels after every pothole
5. curb rash
6. tire wear
7. curb rash
8. horrible traction
9. curb rash

 

Not to mention completely invalidating any type of tire warranty you might have

 

also not to mention running the risk of being mistaken for ryan seacrest

 

Mines not that stretched but im running 235/35/19 on a 19x9

 

jeeez.... I'm running 255s on a 8" rim.

 

wow thats pretty dangerous boost...are you sure about that?

 

I don't think they'd look very right on a Maxima. It's a family sedan...

That said I will likely be running 225/50 on an 8.5J in the near future...

 

I'll post pix once my wheels are installed and car is out of the body shop.

Again, it's not really that amazing of a stretch, but its definitely there.

My wheels won't fit without spacers due to the fact that the hub bore was not deep enough
