Perfect for jacked up mall crawlers....
Because people spend money on wheels and then forget they need tires and buy the cheapest thing that “fits”
No, they Finance the wheels, cant afford the wheels and tires. The get them repo off the rig. Funniest shit too if you look up repo wheels on youtube. LMAOOOOO
the thinner the tire the worse the ride quality is. not worth it for me. I didn't spend time and money on my truck to kill my suspension system fast and get a bad driving experience always trying to avoid the smallest bump on the road.
@@EternalResonance Ain't that the truth brother.
Actually no that's not the case they just like the look that's all. And actually it does look nice but I wouldn't do it
I’m the opposite I bought the cheapest half decent wheels that where 18x9
Love seeing guys running American forces with Chinese tires 🤣
SWEAR!!😂😂😂😂😂
Almost all tires are chinese
It doesn't matter
Nitto is Chinese.......
American force is made in China tho 🤨
Those jacked up trucks that will never see a gravel road let alone a trail.
why does that matter in any way
Why’s it matter?
Not everyone lives in an area to go tear up a truck. Not every trucks gotta see dirt mud gravel etc.
@@truckingwithalex4785 but with a 12" lift and 35-40+ inch mud terrains/boggers? And it still never sees a patch of grass? Seems like they build the wrong type of truck then...
It matters because why would you spend so much money on offroad tires when you are going to stretch them on a rim so they aren't even capable of driving in a gravel road anymore?.
You should do a video/history lesson on why the truck community decided big wheels and low profile tire make sense on lifted 4x4s. What was the origin of that concept/trend?
More tire, less rim is the way to go on a truck...
The Infidel 35x12.50r16 for me
33x12.50R20 on 20x10 good for me
Project_ CodeRed to each his own.
I rarely see 20 inch rims out in the trails. Or on the rocks.
@@jlufordays109 good rule of thumb is having rim diameter about 1/2 or less the diameter of the tire. The only 20's I have seen on the trail were on a Wrangler that sat on 46's so they were actually fitting, haha
Brett Friedrichsen yeah that’s what I was thinking. My buddy offroads every weekend on 20s but he’s got 44s
I daily 35s but off road on 37s hopefully going 42s by the end of this year
It looks good sometimes but I'm Mexican so I end up liking it eventually.
Damn I guess I'm Mexican too lol
This is the REALIST comment I have ever read. Mad props. Shoot me your address. I’m going to send you a 6 pack. Swear.....
That’s how I felt about dropped trucks
Hahhahahahahah love it! 😂
For some reason I read your comment with a mexican accent..
Sure there's a purpose....
It's done so you can easily destroy a wheel when you bump a curb.......
Back in the 90's we didn't have to worry about this. We had companies like Mickey Thompson that made true wide tires. I had a set of Baja Belted 35 17.5 r15 on a Bart wheels 15×14 on a 1978 Chevrolet Blazer K5 with a 4in Rough Country lift. STANCE MONSTER
Low profile/streched tires on trucks is stupid and looks terrible
Why low profile offroad tires? It completely takes away the purpose of having offroad tires.
On top of that, they put that garbage on lifted 4x4s
Stretched tires can unseat the bead in certain conditions. The heavier the vehicle, the easier that would be to do. I will run correct size for mine. I also like the tire to protect the wheel lip. Stretched tires tend to not do that either
I had my 26x14 my GMC for 3 years. Never had a problem.
I think you should leave the stretch tire look to the car guys lol
Looks gay on cars too..
@@Mr.Killswitch agreed
When i bought my z71 it had 295s on a 12 wide wheel. 2 days later i had 35x12.5s on it and it rides way smoother
Nicely said 👌🏾
I like that look personal. Never done it yet... But I still might...
I have a tiny bit of stretch on my miata because a very small amount of stretch improves turn in feel. I’m running a 205 width tire (7” give or take half an inch) on an 8” wide wheel
305/35/24 tire, 14”w rim on lvl’ed f150 still rubs but I went this route bc I’m a contractor and didn’t want to go 6” high as a daily. But I get way more in person likes than I ever thought I would. Also super funny to jump out right after someone spills their guts on how much they hate it(5%tint)
You should do a video on controversial truck mods, such as exhaust tips
Is there a set up that is realistic for a couple sets of shoes? I know I'm being broad but my knowledge is minimal. I'm hoping to build to a "show" set but be able to daily another set. As always, great content and
information. Cheers from Canada
Fuller, what is that wheel in your right behind you ? Looks awesome!
Those are both Arkon wheels! You can check them out here:

The only pro is it makes me happy when I walk up to the Excursion looking sexy in a parking lot.
It looks cool
Hey Custom Offsets i hope you are reading this. I'm really looking for Moto Metal 955 20x10's, i can't seem to find them anywhere on the internet. Is there any way you can add them to your online store? Are they discontinued? It's the only rim that got my attention so bad.
I personally think stretched tires are stupid and impractical for a truck if you plan on actually using it as a truck
Theo-greking your on custom offsets you want practical go where this comment makes sence
People doing this aren't using their truck as a truck. Just like how people do this on cars. It's not about making the car faster.
It’s just as lame to me as ridiculous fashion fads.
My reason is for less trimming with a 12 wide (305s vs 285s is a difference of af least 2 inches in the amount of trimming and the ability to avoid doing a norcal)
Are you saying a 305 on a 24x12 rims is the same width as a 305 24x14" wide rims?
Take these wheel/tire combos rock crawling and see what happens. That’d be a good video
Jethro bruh not all builds are for rock crawling
carlos perez yeah I’m well aware. But I’d like to see just how these trucks would do while crawling. Just as a “what would happen”
Stretched tires don’t benefit any type of build other than standing in parking lots trying to act cool.
I love my 20x12 on 33s
Stretched tires obviously exist solely to piss off your tire tech
Please 😫🙏🙏 do another "this or that" part 3 and maybe more please
Getting my 305/45r22 blow onto my 22x14 rims tmrw on my leveled truck
What do you guys think about the Gm max trac 5 inch lift kit with Fox shocks? @customoffsets
i run 33 x 12.5 muds
on 20 x 14 fuel hostage chromes on my titan... they stretched a good but but it still is aesthetically pleasing... although my 33’s are more like 31’s now. i got smaller tires though because i wanted the lift to stand out more
Forp Balthesaur why do you have lift if not for clearance? And if for clearance wouldn’t the bigger tyres be better?
craki06 i just wanted the lift to look bigger... thus the smaller tires. i wasnt concerned with the overall height of my truck
Hey Custom Offsets, Could you guys please start doing videos showcasing "Your" ARKON brand wheels? You guys always showcase other companies, But for some reason im not seeing any in depth videos on the Cleopatra 22x12 in chrome or any of the others in chrome in a 22x12 or 24". And maybe show them on the new badass Federal Xplora MTS in a 35" or 37" tire when you get them? Thanks
Maybe some of these videos will help you! th-cam.com/channels/nmCVfwLakc9Fd2ltaowisQ.htmlsearch?view_as=subscriber&query=Arkon
Nope no pros just cons. Lol
I’m gonna try to put a 225 on a 12 wide you think it’ll work?
I’m new to the truck scene I have a v6 sr5 2001 Toyota 4Runner wanna get her lifted are there any fuel efficient 20x12 rims and stretch tires I can put on
Ayeeeee that's my bro shayne
Will there be stretching on 275/45/20 on 20x10?
We where doing the stretch thing back in the late 80s. 195/50 15 on a 15x8 reverse KMC Hammers
I have a 205 50 15 on a 10 inch wide rim. On my 97 nissan truck haha
jonathna11 Lol don't forget about the Alpine CD Shuttle under the seat with the 12s in the back!💯
damn straight i had 15x10 hammers on a 85 regal back then ...
Always love the 4-1-1 videos 👍No bloopers 👎Lol
I’m personally the opposite i bought some 15 by 8 with 33in by 12.5 wide I like the tire to come out
What do y’all do about small damage when a delivery is received ? @Custom Offsets
Depending on what the item was, send an email to info@customoffsets.com and they should be able to help you out!
Stretched tires look terrible.
So do Arby’s sandwich vaginas but people
Still eat em anyways 😂
on track cars a slight stretch makes the sidewall stiffer for cornering
Stretched tires are for stiffer side wall and less roll over. Mostly for road racing. First heard about it in karting
i think both can look good honestly, if its ur truck then do whatever you feel like doing lol
@DuckSheese Agreed. Everyones got an opinion. It's your money spend how you want, whatever makes you happy.
@@brandonblaisdell2047 exactly, but it gets annoying though when you run into that one guy who says stuff like "the truck would look a lot better if you did _________, __________, or __________ but it looks decent though" like what do you mean better? My truck ain't perfect but it's obvious I'm not going for the flexing look like if it's for show, I'm building a work truck that looks good and can still get the job done, sorry if I sound like I'm venting but it's annoying running into those guys that think all trucks should look like show trucks
Yep, do your own thing, doesnt affect me. Personally I do not like the look, but that's me. Beauty of freedom!
Is 305/35/r24 on a 24x12 -44 offset a lot of stretch tire
make a video showing 355/40r22 comparison to a 375/45r22 put them next to each other
I wish they make a 335 40 22 nitto 420s 👽
Hey @customoffsets do you guys know the song thats in the background at the very beginning/end of this video?
We mainly use in house beats or short clips so no, sorry about that!
I have 235s on 10 wides.
Can I go 0.5 past spec?
It also helps if you don’t wanna rub as bad
Also, I've ran my stretched tires pulling 25k gross weight 1600 miles ON SPACERS🤷🏽♂️THANKS FOR THE SWEET THUMBNAIL PIC!!
I just want to know if a 33''/12.5 R17 will fit on a 17x9 wheel or if that's too wide for that wheel.
It will fit the rims perfectly, that’s what I got on my Jeep wrangler 2023
I'm a guy who believes in function over fashion. But function can still look better than fashion 😂
Only reason my daily is on legitimately stretched a/Ts was because I had someone slash my tires “people called him daddies money bandit “ purely cause I drove a truck on 20x12-54s and was running NT420Vs , and I found the 275s for $200 for the entire setup on fb , I hate it , the way it looks the way it rides and I smacked a curb day 3 of the tires and bent a wheel , HOWEVER, I’m building a drift project where the small tire and stretch sidewalls help with flex and making a fairly narrow track pad , thus reducing things like wheel and axle hop , giving me that JDM stance boi look and not stuffing a 305 under a drift build and having more tire than I can slide
When you buy a package deal, does is ship via freight? Or what?
Yes it will ship freight. Heres a video on what to expect when recieving your wheel/tire package:

What air pressure are you running on the cheetahs as well as the air line when your guys are mounting your 14 wides on the m/t 33s and 35s ?
What ever max is in both
So that backing track though!

I don’t know
Stretch tires on 12 wide allow clearance for turning and looks coo
hey fuller, you spoke about stretching tyres but recently I went to a local tyre shop and asked them to put a set of 305/70/16 on my stock colorado wheels, they advised me that because the stock wheels were so narrow it would cause the tyre to bend and cause excess wear to the middle of the tyre.... what's your take on this?
Check out our video about frequently asked questions on tires!
th-cam.com/video/QnaF_Jsa50w/w-d-xo.html
thanks much guys...
I personally stretch them because I like being leveled so it’s lower to the ground with a super wide stance. So I ran 33’s 12.50 on 24/14 and still have almost full turn. With 33-13.50 I would not be able to turn at all without lifting . That’s my reason.
I have 305/40 nitto 420s on 22x12 -44 rims is that bad?
That comes out to a 31.5x12r22 tire which should be almost perfectly flush up and down sidewall to wheel! Check out our calculator on our website to do more metric to standard conversions!
www.customwheeloffset.com/tire-wheel-backspacing-offset-calculators
What about the opposite? I have a cummins I run 8 wide rim with a 10 wide tire is there negatives to that? I'd assume so but I'm not certain
No it is perfectly fine to have a nice protective bulge of tire sidewall!
@@CustomOffsetsTV Notices bulge* OwO what's this?
Lol that boy Devin in the Gucci max
The reason I have small profile tires is literally all performance reason. They aren’t stretched and have decent side wall still low profile there 12” wide tire on 10” wide wheels 32” tall tire on a 20” wheel there’s less side wall flex on turns there cheaper 1/3 the price of 35s M/T last longer much higher speed rating and very sticky for a drag racing but still good in rainy conditions better fuel economy quieter and still decent ride, And you would be surprised the places I can get with those street tires out in the desert. there toyo proxies on moto metals it’s no Princess it’s gets shit done one moment it’s drag racing the next it’s towing 8,000lbs
I like the stretched look of your hair
Does it change the height profile of the tire by stretching it for clearance reasons?
yes it can, not by too much
If you lose strength stretching a tire onto a wider wheel does the same apply vice versa? ie. if I put 12 wides on my 10 inch wheels.
No think about turns and angles

@@CustomOffsetsTV thanks guys!
35x12.5 on 22x14s I haven't had any problems. Women really like the look and tires aren't the only rubbers I stretch
If you want a 22x14 with most tire sizes to not have “stretch” would be close to like 40”. That only requires 10” of lift... to get that a little more practical fury has that 33x14.50 which is better but still has stretch on a 14 wide. If there was an option for wider I would do use it but most tires don’t get close.
Fury also makes a 35x15.5R22 ! You can check it out here!

Its for hi speed handling
Could I fit 14wides on a 33x12.50 kinda clever mud tires on a 2002gmc 2500hd on a lvl kit if I did a NorCal mod??? Please respond Ik it’d require a lot of trimming but I want 14s lol

Stretched tires look pretty sick
I think the stretched tire started way before the “car scene”
Like late 70s maybe 80s with the lowriders and then it jumped to the 15x14s that la raza (mexicans) started putting on the trucks
13x7 are the correct ones
Exactly!! The 90s with 15x12 Prime wheels and 295/50 tires!!
It started in Germany and Japan
I was running 245 on a 12 in rim
I just ordered my wheels and tires today. ordered 22x14 Arkons cause I wanna be wide af for the gram, but also went with 355 Nittos so I dont have stretch.
No I hate stretched tires but a 1 inch stretched nitto 420 looks so good now they look good on a 2 Inch dropped classic body style duramax or cummins
How many miles can you expect to get out of a tire that’s stretched ?? (ex. 22x14 on 33x12.5)
It really depends on the driver on how much life you'll get out of a tire, stretch won't make a difference. Your driving habits, environment, PSI, etc can all factor in.
I've been on the phone and emailing you guys. I truly appreciate the help I've gotten I don't just drop $4000 without research and your guys there have REALLY helped me out figuring what I want for my 2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ.......... THANKS BRANDON and ISAAC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah man, glad our team could get you all the help you need!
You guys are Larry’s! Look at late 80’s early 90’s mini trucks from California you will see 15X10’s on 195-50’s. Germany? You must be from Wisconsin! There was no internet at that time for us to copy from. so cal started that shit!
Hey Would it ever be a good idea to put a 275 50r20 tire on a 20x12 wheel
There would be a little bit of stretch, which we cannot recommend stretching tires. But people have done it and made it work!
Custom Offsets k makes since
Low Rider scene has always done this shit... 185/70R14 on a 8inch or even 10inch.. seen one blow a tire at freeway speeds.. massive destruction to fender and wheel.. due to after going flat.. only the wheel is left to roll..
only reason ill stretch my tires on the ole 14 wides are because 305/45r22 NT420Vs are $191 a piece and 325/35r22 are $325 a piece.... and I own a 6.4 and all they are good for is going fast lol
all these trends originated from drift culture in japan. there's no denying it. those guys wanted to slide farther, faster, and harder, and to do that, you need less rubber on the ground. hence stretching, and same for cambered wheels on the drive axle.
I have a 4 door wrangler i have 20x12 wheels and looking at 275,50,20 basically 10 and half wide tire. I have mud tires on it now and i hate driving it. Itll never be off road. Only blacktop so yeah itll be stretched i guess.
Are the Lincoln’s a true directional¿
Yes they are! All Arkon wheels are Proper Directional! You can check out the Arkon Lincoln here!
bit.ly/2YuZGvP
I feel bad for the bearings in the hubs
Possibly better gas mileage¿? because of less contact on the road therefor less rolling resistance
They've been doing that in Hawaii for couple decades now ........ never was into it ........ seen 15 x18 on 16 wide boggers
Only reason I got stretched tires is because I couldn’t afford wide enough tires at the time
What anout stretching with wider tires
It is perfectly fine to have a wider tire than the width of the wheel unless its a very extreme case. Check out our video that explains both comparisons of tire stretch here:
th-cam.com/video/QnaF_Jsa50w/w-d-xo.html
It’s for 0 side wall flex for cornering.......... into a curb ! That’s what goes through my mind when I’m building curbs ! Like when u get a puppy and your like “yep he’s getting ready to poop on the carpet!” Sharren !!!! (Ozzy)
I think there is a benefit to stretched tires for a particular group. I have a 4” lift on my tahoe with -4” drop in the back. Ik I’m autistic so leave me alone. But I’m putting 24x14 Arkon wheels with 33x12.50r24 mud tires on them. If I were to put 33x14.50r24 fury tires on them I’d have unbearable rubbing issues where as with a 12.50 tire where its stretched, the impact of the tire on where ever it will rub will be much less than a 14.50. Ik I’ll still have rubbing but if you ain’t rubbin you ain’t thuggin. That’s just the reason I’m going to be running stretched tires.
Get 12 wide wheels
