I still think people running such crazy stretch look stupid, it has to be the right amount.

I'm not a fan of it either, but it does serve a purpose (At least on drifty cars. I have no idea why a FWD car would want this) and to each his own...

There are laws in Europe that prohibit "tire rub" on fenders. Ergo, you can get the wide wheels you want and with stretched tires, you won't get in trouble by the police.

That's were I thought "stretching tires" originated from.

so they arent stretched on the front badly, and I havent gotten around to installing them on the rears yet...there will be much more strtch on the rears...you can already see how much lower I can make it though...I just hope I dont run into stupid traction issues becasue of it...I dont mind sliding but not anytime I get into the throttle
