Pictures of streched tires on 240's

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Topless thanks for posting all thoes you to Matej.This is what Im looking for!!! do you know the specs?

No problem. The guy who owns it is on vipstylecars.com. His username is upslidedown. I think it's the same on here but he hasn't posted in a while. Hit him up with an email or something.

[PSIValentine]

if you get ahold of him ask him what he used to black out his tails. I was going to use VHT nightshades but i'm still researching the best way... any ideas?

Edit: I have 180sx tail lights.

I will try to get you some shots of my wheel/tire. 17X9 19 or 20 offset. running 235/40/17. Streched slightly less than the picture you said you wanted yours to look like. It fits fine with just a fender roll front and rear and a slight pull in the back. You could probably get away without a pull if you ran about 2.5 to 3 degrees camber give or take. I think that picture you liked is probably a 9.5 in wide wheel with like a 235/40 ish tire but I could be wrong.

When I got the car it was tucking tire and I didn't really have an issue with rubbing. But, it was my daily driver, so I raised it a little because the roads here suck and I didn't want to replace tires often from camber wear.

I didn't feel like reading the whole post, although it does look cool, it is also a terrible idea.

how the hell does the tire even stay on that **** is insane

Japanese are Asian.Asians are supposed to be great in math.People who can't calculate the correct tire width, wheel width and fender width suck at math.Therefore those tire-stretch pics cannot be JDM.

Don't do this **** at home GayDM kids.

Seriously, it won't even take a speed bump to destroy the femders, tires and the wheel itself with those crazy mis-match. If there's any money to throw away, just get slicks and take them to track.

[sbird1]

That S13 is HAWT! I would change the wheels and not have it quite so low, but DAYUM. That's a nice look.

[Matej]

Haha, it's not mine, I wish, sorry.

Stretched tires belong on carpet queens.

[SR20Essex]

mine are a little stretched (check my sig).

255/35's on 18x9.5in wheels (supposed to be 275's for the right fit I think)

It's always interesting to read ignorant folks decry stretched tire setups without having any true anecdotal evidence to back up their conjecture. Usually it boils down to them claiming that "stretched tires are dangerous and will blow out on potholes" or something to that effect. Wow, have the people who always say stuff like this actually experienced that? I have. I've also experienced blow outs on totally OEM tire applications. I've done stupid stretches, to the exact opposite (245s on a 6.5" wide wheel). So here's some food for thought from someone who's actually got some REAL anecdotes: when a stretched tire blows out, the tire remains on the rim, even at a decent speed. When a non-stretched tire blows out, it tends to roll off the wheel because of excess pliability afforded by the sidewall... you drive over 5-10mph or take a turn over 3-5mph and you're SCREWED. Of course, people who don't know better wouldn't know that though. I'm not saying stretched tires are totally safe or the way to go or are better or worse... but I just always find it hilarious that people like to spread misinformation on stuff they don't really know anything about. It's one thing to say you don't like the stretched tire look because it's not your style; it's another to say stretched tires suck, and only back that opinion up with abstract speculation that isn't even true, not based on any facts, nor first-hand knowledge.

With that said, the gray S13 belongs to a friend who goes by hendogg8 on several other forums. I got him the SuperMade bodykit, as well as the one on the black S13.5 hatch seen in some of those other pics. I pretty much helped both guys build their cars up including to getting the SM parts. I've personally found the design of the SM kits to be a very refreshing departure from the trend towards big, snow-plow bodykits that really only look good on extreme, and track-specific cars, especially considering that only maybe 5% of 240 folks in the US even get wheels with a good enough fitment to complement those radical bodykits. So to see a nice, subtle, almost OEM style kit with wheel fitment that is actually on the "radical" side makes for a very intriguing car that isn't gaudy or overbearing. Basically, you end up with a car that even non-car people will compliment for looking like a nice, high-end car instead of thinking "oh, that's just another one of those kid's cars." Of course, different strokes for different folks... but since some of us are a bit older, we tend to steer more towards having a car that captures people's attention, but in a low-key sort of way..."The empty drum sounds the loudest."

Well said One Ton I used to be the anti-stretch, and am still the anti-big stretch, but i've discovered that I like the way the tire acts with a slightly stretched sidewall. Slightly being the key for me, I still like a nice meaty tire, but i'm not going to be one of the tards that comes in here and knocks it. I know the various reasons people do it, i've got friends who do it, both on track and street, and it has it's ups and downs. The one thing it doesn't have is a reason to be made into a giant debacle arguement. This thread isn't called "Hey, should I stretch my tire" ... so don't treat it like that.

[nieko]

can u give like a list? of Pros and Cons of stretched tires? and same with tires wider? and same with the actual fit? lol if any of that makes sense thatd be great
