Will these tires be good for me? will they stretch?

I briefly looked in the FAQ and also did a quick search and didn't come up with anything too directly relevant.

I'm sure you guys will say these are one of the worst tires in the world... which I'm pretty sure they are as well as far as longevity/performance above normal driving speed goes... but let me tell you my goals for these tires...

- will be drifted and destroyed anyways. not so much interested in lifespan as long as they don't completely chunk and last only one event.

- I need them to stretch somewhat. looking at the sidewalls, they seem decently flat to have an ok stretch. the tread pattern looks unusually deep howeverm which may make for an unusual contact patch if stretched too much?? what do you think?

- these are going on some 002s +0 offset. and I'm looking at a 205/40/16.

any advice would be great. I know there are better options if i save more, but my short term goals are just to get my wheels mounted on the car, and later on when I burn these up, get a nicer set of tires.

so these are literally just going on temporarily. just want to know mainly if they will seat properly and give me a decent contact patch without having too vertical a stretch (if you know what im trying to say)
