I wouldn’t, I don’t mind mods to the body work like aero kits, but I always try to keep the main components like tires, wheels, and suspension reasonably functional so when I do something stupid I know the car’s going to not fall apart.
You must be very hurt I said that, it’s actually just a joke. I guess, if they’re stretched a little the look okay on some cars but god damn when I see a car with bicycle tires and a steep camber angle on all the wheels it makes me want to sacrifice a baby goat
Tire stretching has the same argument as lowering and cambering your car. Yes they can be useful for performance but after a certain point it starts to become ridiculous and pointless as it no longer does anything for performance after that
Im against extreme stretch ( for example 195 35 on 9 wide) but i also am running a little stretch. 205/35 on an 8.5x18 wheel, its visible, but not that extreme
So many tyre cops around the comments, you do realize that some bwm actually have tyre stretch from factory right? check out stock 18 or even 19' wheels for BMW, there's many times a visible stretch.
It's very easy. Tires are measured by mm. Example. 8 inch wide is 203 mm. So run a tire size that's closest to that measurement. 205 or 215 would get you that perfect vertical sidewall.
@@vizualmrs Close, 205 for example is section width(widest point when mounted on preferred wheel) not tread width and tread widths vary between tires of the exact same sidewall marked dimensions. Tread width is what needs to be matched and it's generally an inch or so narrower then the section width. The Tire Rack website does a great job listing tread width and recommended wheel width.
Not absolutely true. All racecars run a slight amount of stretch, even Formula 1, google it, very visible. Probably to stiffen up the sidewall, the same reason why lower profile tires are prefered. Also, not sure about the aquaplaning risk. In the wet, you need a narrow slightly over inflated tire to form the tire into a wedge so it can expell water from under it and grip the tarmac. A wider and normally inflated tire would trap the water under it actually increasing the risk of aquaplaning. You're ignoring how different wet setups are from dry setups. So it's not that simple. BUT, I totally agree on the stupidity od stretch camber and lowering stance style 🤜🤛

Come to Europe. We have to stretch because its not possible to have that wide tyres on some wheels. You can have on some cars 225,235 max... but when you are about that stance life and want to have 9,5J wide rim there is no other possibility than stretch. Or risk to drive without having that tyre in what you calling "pink slip" ? Or ... we have technical...
when did zero-gap from the rim to the fender wall became a thing? looks so hideous and undrivable, it's still a car. fender gap should still be from the TIRE to the fender should be zero, NOT the rim. Looks so bad and ghetto as shit, just my opinion.
I have a 19x9.5 +29 with 275/30 tire on the rear because my wheels costed me an arm and a leg and wanted to protect the rim as much as possible. But I have slight rubbing that adding an adjustable camber arm did not resolve. Now I'm thinking of going down to a 265/30 tire to add a little stretch to clear that rear fender. 2015 IS350 FSport RWD.
looking on chart of tiresizes and wheel widths...does anything look stretched? nope. should you drive with stretched tires? nope. is it allowed to drive with stretched tires? not in my country. stretchy tires are founded because some people just needs tremendous amounts of publicity and attention. it looks stupid and probably drives like a turd. after all...theyre cars take damage and they are bad for the public mainstream and tuner reputation thing....change my mind!!!
The problem being, like you said, most people tbink the worst. Well guess what politicians always tbing the worst too. What that means that thise politicians then make laws to make all "aftermarket wheel and tire combos" illegal. This is where i have issue. And for those stupis ass cambered out cars woth retarded stretch that do fucking 15mph on the highway on ramp that my oem miata could take at 90mph pisses me off. Lol
@@glaze_tpf9791 in Japan is was partially a cost saving thing to. Then the awful us car scene took that as let's drive around on rubber bands. Glad to be in the UK where this is laughed at
I didn’t do a rookie mistake but maybe I did. I got 18x9.5 with 35 offset on 245/40r18 nittos. Ik I’m going to have a tiny bit of stretch but nothing crazy
He's literally just throwing out the legitimate concerns of safety out the window..... all the cons he listed are legitimate reasons why you shouldn't. Why are we discussing this any ways?
You sure can talk fast. Would be better if the vid were a little slower. I ran streched tires two times. Both times the tires began to vibrate after a while. On the balancing machine it became apparent they became deformed. So maybe its bad luck or streched tires dont like hard cornering..... I sure as hell wont use streched tires no more.
Camber and stretched tires are goofy as hell pointless waist of $$$$$. I want my tires wider than the wheel so the rubber is protecting the rim I want my wheel to set vertical to have my tires last as long as they can. I would rather take the $$$$ to upgrade my car instead of buying more tires I would rather be safe on a road while driving then to have my wheels horizontally to fit under my car and look ridiculous.
There is no benefit whatsoever and only detriment to stretching tires. People may like the looks of it, but ultimately it affects performance stability and safety. Yes you could do things to your car just because you like the way it looks. But adding some ridiculous ironing board spoiler to the back of your stock 2000 civic just because they like The way it looks, does an actually deeper form or cause instability issues. So then that’s perfectly OK. But when you got your ride that you think is all sorts of bad ass and you doing all of these various performance-enhancing features to it and then you throw in a set of stretch tires it’s like one step forward and two steps back. And that red car you showed from 30 years ago no one would consider that stretched
I don't think it's the best idea. My cousin had stretched tires on his integra. Almost every 2-4 months one of his tires would blow out either from sidewall cracks or hitting the smallest pothole on the road. Not to mention that it messed with the wheel balance so much that anytime he went faster than 50mph his car would shake
So, stretch tires can possibly kill you but the positive is that they look cool? I know you guys are trying to justify it but come on. You gotta admit it's stupid.
You have to consider shitty countries like Italy where I live where is illegal mount different tires which are marked on the title and to homologate them it cost a lot of money because my country is shit.
I guess it's dependent on form or function? If you've got a show car then yes run stretched but if you're doing track, drag or racing then you should really be using a wider set up. It just depends on your build, I think they look crazy good when done properly but I got a mustang and need the wide boys to get the power down 😂
I honestly think stretched tires is fuken stupid no point of it tho bcuz ur ruining one side of the tires faster and in my opinion waste of money and jus not safe some ricer shit honestly

I think lowriders where doing it in the 70s
looking on chart of tiresizes and wheel widths...does anything look stretched? nope. should you drive with stretched tires? nope. is it allowed to drive with stretched tires? not in my country. stretchy tires are founded because some people just needs tremendous amounts of publicity and attention. it looks stupid and probably drives like a turd. after all...theyre cars take damage and they are bad for the public mainstream and tuner reputation thing....change my mind!!!
The problem being, like you said, most people tbink the worst. Well guess what politicians always tbing the worst too. What that means that thise politicians then make laws to make all "aftermarket wheel and tire combos" illegal. This is where i have issue. And for those stupis ass cambered out cars woth retarded stretch that do fucking 15mph on the highway on ramp that my oem miata could take at 90mph pisses me off. Lol
They look awful, they ride awful. They are awful, another trend that needs to go
japan did it right, then Americans ruined it like they ruin everything lmao
@@glaze_tpf9791 in Japan is was partially a cost saving thing to. Then the awful us car scene took that as let's drive around on rubber bands. Glad to be in the UK where this is laughed at
I didn’t do a rookie mistake but maybe I did. I got 18x9.5 with 35 offset on 245/40r18 nittos. Ik I’m going to have a tiny bit of stretch but nothing crazy
He's literally just throwing out the legitimate concerns of safety out the window..... all the cons he listed are legitimate reasons why you shouldn't. Why are we discussing this any ways?
You sure can talk fast. Would be better if the vid were a little slower.
I ran streched tires two times. Both times the tires began to vibrate after a while.
On the balancing machine it became apparent they became deformed.
So maybe its bad luck or streched tires dont like hard cornering.....
I sure as hell wont use streched tires no more.
Camber and stretched tires are goofy as hell pointless waist of $$$$$. I want my tires wider than the wheel so the rubber is protecting the rim I want my wheel to set vertical to have my tires last as long as they can. I would rather take the $$$$ to upgrade my car instead of buying more tires I would rather be safe on a road while driving then to have my wheels horizontally to fit under my car and look ridiculous.
There is no benefit whatsoever and only detriment to stretching tires. People may like the looks of it, but ultimately it affects performance stability and safety. Yes you could do things to your car just because you like the way it looks. But adding some ridiculous ironing board spoiler to the back of your stock 2000 civic just because they like The way it looks, does an actually deeper form or cause instability issues. So then that’s perfectly OK. But when you got your ride that you think is all sorts of bad ass and you doing all of these various performance-enhancing features to it and then you throw in a set of stretch tires it’s like one step forward and two steps back. And that red car you showed from 30 years ago no one would consider that stretched
I don't think it's the best idea. My cousin had stretched tires on his integra. Almost every 2-4 months one of his tires would blow out either from sidewall cracks or hitting the smallest pothole on the road. Not to mention that it messed with the wheel balance so much that anytime he went faster than 50mph his car would shake
Is driving intoxicated a good idea?
I'm happy running a 275 square setup on a 9.5" on my evo 😂
I run a 275 on my 10"s
Third day of quarantine and you are talking to the wall, 🤣🤣🤣
Bro, in greece we are in quarantine for almost 2 months 😵😵😲😲
So, stretch tires can possibly kill you but the positive is that they look cool? I know you guys are trying to justify it but come on. You gotta admit it's stupid.
watching this video 4 years late with 225s on my 10 wide wheels 😟
You have to consider shitty countries like Italy where I live where is illegal mount different tires which are marked on the title and to homologate them it cost a lot of money because my country is shit.
I guess it's dependent on form or function? If you've got a show car then yes run stretched but if you're doing track, drag or racing then you should really be using a wider set up. It just depends on your build, I think they look crazy good when done properly but I got a mustang and need the wide boys to get the power down 😂
Well, stretching this video wasn't best idea. Or seem necessary. See if I can stretch my old arthritic thumb and hit "sto
Yall do that stupid shocked expression looking at something thumbnail wayyyy to much lmao is it really that hard
I honestly think stretched tires is fuken stupid no point of it tho bcuz ur ruining one side of the tires faster and in my opinion waste of money and jus not safe some ricer shit honestly
What the hell is wrong with this subtitles? xD I feel like I'm looking at alternate reality leaking into ours.
Forgot to mention tire stretch makes for more consistent feel when drifting since you lessen or get rid of the tire rolling over itself.
Personally I think the stretch tires makes the rim lip look like shit, but I guess people think its cool 😎
235/40-18 on 18x9.5 + 40offset
Until I get new tires 255/35-18
Midas dont give a F$@K ! At least the one by me. You got money ? You got em mounted ✌🏽🔰

Bought my Prelude with stretched tires. Couldn't replace them fast enough. Suspension acted like a homemade go cart with them. Rides like a dream now.
I got 215/55/18s on my 9.5s they look fine and ride fine
just got my 205/35s mounted ACHILLES GANG
another issue with stretched tires that you didnt mention is that they look dumb af
