Tyre Stretch

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

I daily a 225 on a 9.5"... don't seem to have any issues. although tyre brand and model has a lot to do with it. Something with a flimsy sidewall will be balls. Also depends on how the tyre seats in the rim, which somewhat depends on the design of the rim.

But....

I agree. Ngaroj unless you slam the crap out of your 33, stretched tyres are just gonna look stupid. And by slam I mean like less than 1cm between fender and rim (not tyre).

+1 for that.

A little stretch is ok but as long as you have a decent ride height and fitment, if your not going Hellaflush.

So much hate for something people know nothing about.

But yeah you need offset if youre going for stretch, otherwise dont bother.

no hate here

and doesnt stretching improve the 'response' of the tyre becauce there is no sidewall

for say turning its actually quicker

haha this not for any handling advantage nick, its because i want to run 10" +25 on the front of my car, AND cos im a cheap curry, i'd rather wear out my current tyres before buying a decent set. nothing these sensible mofo's can say will change the latter fact

thats not a bad fit at all. i got 235/40 on my 9.5s bit of stretch like can see the lip easy but i think nankangs suck for stretch perhaps

[funkymonkey]

can't remember the series, but Kumho's have fairly thick/reinforced sidewalls. They perform well when under tension.
