I for one would like to see some reasonably stretched tires. Extreme anything is going to bring some bashing. But hey,it is up to the individual what they want to do with their car. So,please post more pix.

oh thats right. now i remember why i laugh at the majority of the guys on this forum. no imagination or creativity.

tirerack advises against anything lower than a +45 on a 9" wide wheel*, or is that to "aggressive" also? so thats why we dont see more stretched tire.

there should be a "default S2000 owners" thread and a "i do what i want and like stepping out" thread. er something like that. you dont have to go ver batim if you dont want.

and i dont wanna call anyone out, but the ladies do dig sideways action. thats why i do it. im just a boy-ricer tryin my damndest to get laid. do high offsets, thick tires and OMG!!1! hardtops help pull ass? er whatever.

and "unsafe"... hahaha.

MORE PICTURES and PLEASE, MORE DRAMA!!!

*just a guess

Hell, the performance oriented RT615 in a 235/40-17 is ok'd to a rim width up to 9.5". That is from Falken's site. Stretch is OK, as long as you stay within the recomendations of the manufacturer. And yes. I realize the 235/40 is a smaller width tire..but only in the designation. It actually measures out to 9.6" wide. (235mm is 9.25" technically).

Those T1R's stretched nicely on those rims. Perfect. Toyo and Falken's always stretch nice...the lip protector built into them keeps the wheels from being exposed.
