dunlop direzza
215/40/18
18x10 +17

I got em like that. a lil too extreme for me, I pray everyday I dont blow a tire on such expensive rims

sldbyuramg · 02-03-2008, 03:20 PM

i dont understand, why use a tire that doesnt fit the rim. honestly...
is it only for the fact that its cheaper? is it cause you like the look? im not flaming anyone just curious as to why someone would sacrifice safety and contact patch. the only thing i can think of is that you like the look or because the cars are lacking the power to break loose some 275/ or 300 series tires u use a smaller tire so it breaks free easier. i dont see that being the case tho because some of these cars look pretty well built. please give positive feedback.

DOOK · 02-03-2008, 03:22 PM

yeah, it's for the looks

eds13 · 02-03-2008, 03:33 PM

and to get wheels to fit under the fenders.....

sldbyuramg · 02-03-2008, 03:34 PM

cool thanks. the look is kinda growing on me but i dont think i could do it cause i drive like a lunatic and need sidewall support...

So you just do whatever the forum you're on says?

morbid · 02-03-2008, 08:58 PM

How do you get these tires mounted? I'm guessing any old tire shop guy won't be able to / won't want to mount it.

joshy240sxxx · 02-05-2008, 03:05 AM

ByeByeSti · 02-05-2008, 06:16 AM

hypertek- give me your rims and i will forever love you! haha

!Zar! · 02-05-2008, 12:23 PM

Rx7club sucks.

Being on that forum is like work. So much misinformation being spread.

They all HATED on Justin so hard when he was selling that car.

Saying if he was a real drifter and not a poser he wouldn't have a car like that.
HAHAHA.

That forum is like a cesspool. The only smart ones are the ones who own FB's.

Bryon's FC posted above is one of the few if any fc's in norcal with fitment.

drftwerks · 02-05-2008, 05:09 PM

didnt realize this was streatch tire thread,

but they fucking hate my car over at rx7club, ahaha

well i grew up on evolutionm.net which no offense to this site is also alot more technical so i know what you mean.

thanks for all the feedback.

The stretched tire was a side effect of making 18+x10+ wheels fit on an aggressively lowered car designed for a 16x6. The more a tire is stretched out, the more you can push the edge of the rim outwards without rubbing tire on the fender. (where as a vertical side wall would intersect it) It only makes sense o/c for very low cars... stretched tires + wheel gap is nasty, and your excuse better be something like "my coils are getting rebuilt"

I've heard other excuses like that it improves feel, which I'm sure it does considering the tightness of the tire and the additional pressure required. At the end of the day though your sacrificing grip for style by stretching when a wider tire could be used (if the car wasn't so low)

If I'm too technical for zilvia, my bad, I grew up on supraforums.... just look at my awesome rep
