Here is my posted set-up on my car. The wheels were originally on my Accord. But, even at 18x8/18x9 et36 all around, on SKUNK2's, no fender rolling, I didn't rub at all. Marginally stretched tires allowed me to do this.

 

i like it to an extent.. some people just take it to a different level like the pics with teh RT615's above..

but there is a purpose of having stretched tires OTHER than space for low offset wheels..

for example, look at the outside front tire of any car charging hard into a corner.. The contact patch will be pulled significantly inboard, stretching the sidewall. Stretching the tire from it's straight-ahead position took some small amount of time... Pre-stretching the outer sidewall (by forcing the tire onto a "too-wide" rim) elimates that small movement and the time it takes for it to happen, making hte connection between the steering input and the vehicle motion that much more direct.

 

Damn. I never thought of that. Must find anti-stretch thread on vortex and post this. I love playing devil's advocate....

 

can't take all the credit as i read it in a magazine and learned from it.. lol..

 

Thats true, but that makes progressive breakaway non existent.

 

thanks!

 

stretched tires look f-ing gay...People that think it looks cool to stretch tires to to fit enormous lips under the narrow S2k fender wells is f-ing gay...If anyone is offended by this then you're probably rocking stretched tires on rims meant for 350Z....I would rather have performance over looks any day of the week

just my $.02

 

cool look but simply looks dangerous.

 

Wow, I hope none of you guys take it to the track like that.

 

I read the same magazine
