I know its super rare, but through my google searches I've seen people that they are running that size, but I can't find it to purchase anywhere.

Does anyone know if it exists, and if so what brand, and if possible beyond that, where to buy it?

So far I know that

Wheelsnext
tirerack
tires.com
1010tires.com

do not carry it.

Brand is irrelevant at this point, just want to find someone that makes em' since I know they do exist somewhere...

LOL @ super pizza cutter tire. WTF would you want something like this for? A really big wheel barrow wheel?

It's not made because leaving a puny skid mark is the job for a bicycle. ;)

Apparently Toyo makes a 205/35-18 if that helps...

<---Goes out of his way to fit as much rubber as realistically possible on his wheels. And I'll piss off my traction control if necessary to do so.

I thought it was incredibly obvious that kind of wheel fitment was for show.

That being said, it's certainly common in drifting:

Problem: I need to spin the tires on command. But I need to have really wide wheels to fit in with the cool kids.

Solution 1: Big power.

Solution 2: Narrower tires.

Oh drifters...

Actually a quick inspection of a GIS of "Formula D" shows that professionals don't seem to use stretched tires. So really, I should say "Oh wannabe drifters..."

I don't even know where to begin.

That queer tire size won't have sufficient load rating to hold up a motorcycle, much less a car.

To each his own, but don't expect to be taken seriously. That's beyond useless.

well fellahs you're all right... the wheel they'd be going on is 18x8 and yes all show, no go...

Nevertheless you're right in that the 195's are probably too skinny even for my tastes...

More than likely I'll just end up going with the 205/35-18... (which i know isn't exactly all that much better)

I only arrived at 195/35 by playing with a few calculators and since I've only seen a few people with them online (through the google searches that you all probably did as well) i knew they had to exist and was just trying to find out more information on em'...

Nevertheless the rarity of it made me realize that yea 205/35-18 is likely the better/safer choice...

Thanks again guys

Haha funny that you should say that.
That green S14 belongs to Matt Powers, he now competes in Formula D and now no longer uses stretched tires.

oh, and the Gloria is a 225/35 over 13.5 inch rear wheel. But it looks so terrible that people just cant keep their eyes off of it anywhere I go. Makes you wonder. I know they are saying to themselves....

"Oh my God, that cars stance looks like s***. I wish it were mine."

as stupid as an idea as the 195's were, (and an idea is all it was at the time) -- 195 = about 7.7" wide, on an 8" rim isn't all that much of a stretch at all..

Nevertheless too skinny and too low profile for my tastes after I thought it through a bit more.
