my car is finally coming out of the shop and that means that i will continue to start practicing drifting again. i have come aross a set of worn out BF goodrich drag radials for a 15" rim for free. the question is, will i be able to stretch those onto a 16" S14 se rims anyway? or will i have to go with a wide 15" for the rear to stretch them out. thanks alot!

depends on how they are designed. if it it is steel braided sidewalls, no because wont stretch much. i know some people put like a 14" tire on a 15" wheel

get a 16" tire.

also most shops WILL NOT stretch something liek that due to liability.
