chmercer · 03-10-2007, 05:21 PM

i dont know how that works

i almost think that there are bead rings left on the wheel

Bryants95240sx · 03-10-2007, 05:58 PM

There just becomes a point where this gets ridiculous.

Teambadrun · 03-10-2007, 10:15 PM

I had 225/40/18 on 18x10.5 " rim....

That was so scretched , probably as much as you can go as the car sat so so low with the amount of scretch.

Also it is poinless and you get shit all traction.

My favourite is a 235/40 on 10.5" rim.

Matej · 03-31-2007, 07:33 PM

So this week I'll be stretching my first pair of tires. 215/35 on a 9.5". No one around here really has any experience with it (The Midwest is always behind.). Any tips or anything I should look out for? I'll post them when I'm done, I'm excited, haha.

NA4NOW · 03-31-2007, 07:58 PM

Ill be stretching my first set soon, too. Im looking haer to help me decide size. Ill have my 18x8's and 18x10's soon.

Someone post a good "how to" vid.

Ian · 03-31-2007, 07:59 PM

Don't fuck it up

just keep an eye on the beads so they don't get torn up, make sure you use lots of lube, but not too much....you loose all the feeling if you use too much

LB.Motoring · 03-31-2007, 07:59 PM

If you need to know how to,

then your doing it to be a band wagon jumper.

you dont even know why there "is" tire strech, and why chassis need to run it etc.

Get em robby. Another fan boy.

McRussellPants · 03-31-2007, 08:13 PM

18x8s

dopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee stretch to the moooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nn

skynyrd2290 · 03-31-2007, 09:01 PM

quite frankly all the wheels and tires on this thread looks like shit!

I always thought the purpose of a wider wheel was for more tire not less

'90RPS13 · 03-31-2007, 09:09 PM

Maybe you should reprocess your thought. Wider wheel could mean more traction, sure. But iirc, stretched tires allow cleaner/easier breakaway when sliding and less tire roll. Correct me if I am wrong.

Personally Ive always admired the strected look. People have been doing it for a certain appearce since the eighty's.

Im doing this for the first time, because its only till NOW that I want this look. So I am hopping on the band wagon, ..I guess. I'm looking to run minimum clearence between my rim and fender, so stretching is a MUST.

Yes I am doing it to be a wagon jumper, just like most other people did, because stretched tires allow for fire hot wheel fitment, it looks sexy when the fender is pulled over the sloping tire, yet the lip of the wheel itself sticks out slightly or sits flush with the fender, plus smaller tires are cheaper...and it lets you have nice big wheels while keeping the rolling surface of a narrower wheel, especially when combined with camber, so it drifts sooo good, haha.

Thanks for the tip mainevent212.

Wei240 · 04-01-2007, 01:35 AM

yeah, not my cup of tea,

alright, someone put some 165's on 15 wide...

1Via! · 04-01-2007, 04:05 AM
