Stretched Tyres

[Sklyn]

That's nuts! surely if you took a corner too quick, let alone got it sideways, the tyre would come off....??

Speaking of gay shit.

Surely spacing the wheels out that much would ruin the suspension geometry. Looks like it has downs syndrome.

in a rational world yes that is gay. but in this case you are dealing with bosozoku mentality... think rat rods in america. defies logic, yet is still considered cool.

Putting a 235 on a 9.5" rim sure, but a 205 on a 10" like some people do is silly.

lol, if you're being cheap dont use 235's, use 215's on a 9"

245/35/20 on a 20x10.5" rim

love it, dont fit yet thought but they will soon

Looks like a 17 yo flat capper with too much buttcrack showing.

[R32 project]

thats a 235/45R17 on a 10" wide rim

if you can see the fronts as well, they are 215/45R17 on a 9" wide rim

[Nick033]

On my current car, i run 225/40/18 on a 9" rim. We tried stretching a 215/40/18 on there but it was a no-go as it popped off. Needed to be a 45 profile for it to work.

The 215/45 will fit easily on a 8"

any pics of this. i have xd9's 18 x 9'' front 18 x 10'' rear was thinking 225/40/18 front and 245/40/18 rear. with some good tyres

thoughts people???

thread revival FTW
