I have mentioned b4 that streching tires does have a real aplication when it comes to drifting. I Also like streched tires, but I like it on drift cars. My 240 has streched tires, but my track car (audi) doesn't.

Heck, if those are 285's, then that's at least an 11" wheel

It's still down - Problem after problem.

Electrical issue has been frustrating me for months, other projects have taken percedent, replaced the turbo, and waiting for our local Biki expert to give it a re-tune...

It's almost droptop weather, so hopefully she'll be out abusing tires in short order.

I like stretched tires, too.. but I like mine backwards, being stretched outwards instead of in. Helped avoid much curb damage plus rides better.

Something like this

However, I ended up with this
