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 🤨
Perfect for jacked up mall crawlers....
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
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
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?
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?.
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.......
Low profile/streched tires on trucks is stupid and looks terrible
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
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 think you should leave the stretch tire look to the car guys lol
Looks gay on cars too..
@@Mr.Killswitch agreed
I had my 26x14 my GMC for 3 years. Never had a problem.
I like that look personal. Never done it yet... But I still might...
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)
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.
Nope no pros just cons. Lol
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.
The only pro is it makes me happy when I walk up to the Excursion looking sexy in a parking lot.
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
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?
Stretched tires look terrible.
So do Arby’s sandwich vaginas but people
Still eat em anyways 😂
Also, I've ran my stretched tires pulling 25k gross weight 1600 miles ON SPACERS🤷🏽♂️THANKS FOR THE SWEET THUMBNAIL PIC!!
Stretched tires are for stiffer side wall and less roll over. Mostly for road racing. First heard about it in karting
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 ...
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
I'm a guy who believes in function over fashion. But function can still look better than fashion 😂
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!
You should do a video on controversial truck mods, such as exhaust tips
Stretched tires obviously exist solely to piss off your tire tech
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
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!
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
Its for hi speed handling
I wish they make a 335 40 22 nitto 420s 👽
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
Nicely said 👌🏾
Stretched tires look pretty sick
Ayeeeee that's my bro shayne
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.
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!

35x12.5 on 22x14s I haven't had any problems. Women really like the look and tires aren't the only rubbers I stretch
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
Griffin Brown I’ve have 4 sets of 12 wides. It’s time to go bigger
Check out our gallery of fitment to see what others have made fit!

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..
I’m personally the opposite i bought some 15 by 8 with 33in by 12.5 wide I like the tire to come out
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)
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
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.
Stretch tires on 12 wide allow clearance for turning and looks coo
I have 235s on 10 wides.
Always love the 4-1-1 videos 👍No bloopers 👎Lol
I like the stretched look of your hair
It's not for everyone, I run a 37x13.5.26 on a 14 wide and it's just enough stretch to look good in my opinion... now a 11.5 or 12 on a 14 looks tacky to me.
Chad Kennedy fr !!! I'm getting 12.5 on 14 wides
@@thenewlife.pt2724 it's whatever you like.. I would suggest buying your set up from custom offsets.. a lot of places won't even mount that set up for you because it's a liability and a major pain in the ass if you don't have the right tools.
Chad Kennedy definitely. Custom offset is the way to go.
Thanks for the support!
Getting my 305/45r22 blow onto my 22x14 rims tmrw on my leveled truck
Lol that boy Devin in the Gucci max
Please 😫🙏🙏 do another "this or that" part 3 and maybe more please
on track cars a slight stretch makes the sidewall stiffer for cornering
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
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'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!
Only reason I got stretched tires is because I couldn’t afford wide enough tires at the time
Fuller, what is that wheel in your right behind you ? Looks awesome!

Great video. I think stretching is gross and unsafe.
To each their own! We don't recommend stretching tires though as stated.
It looks cool
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
I love my 20x12 on 33s
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!
I don’t know
It also helps if you don’t wanna rub as bad
I want to put some 5.20 tires on my lifted diesel
I first saw stretched tires in AZ over 20 years ago. I always thought it was their style as so many trucks down there were doing it. Definitely not my style.
People have been bulldoging tires like that for years in Hawaii
Wrong concept of a “street truck” what happened to single cab short bed, lowering kit, nasty cam, full bolt ons, billets or drag pack????
exactly, a leveled stock motor ext cab silverado is NOT a "street truck"
Absolutely no one does this shit in the name of "performance."
It's all about looking cool... And that is all in the eyes of the beholder.
So that backing track though!

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.
Guys in hawaii been stretching tires since ever since. 35x12.5 boggers on 15x14 welds was standard in the 90s and early 2000s. Personally, I've always thought they were ugly and impractical but not my truck not my business...
That red cat eye was super clean and that's goals for my truck.
Im not Mexican but i Respect Brown im running 20 x12s on 275/55/20 on bf ko2s i like the stance my truck has for its model.
make a video showing 355/40r22 comparison to a 375/45r22 put them next to each other
@customoffsets can I at least get credit for the thumbnail or nah? @bigdaddyshayne
Shayne Mccaskill that’s is your truck what the hell
Yeah horrible, eBay grille and all
@@seabass3104 Was that suppose to be an insult? Lol
They've been doing that in Hawaii for couple decades now ........ never was into it ........ seen 15 x18 on 16 wide boggers
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.
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
I have 14 wides with 12 wide tires
Yeah, Australians don't do this to their lifted utes. Lowered, yes. Lifted, no. We like to use our utes/trucks offroad, and as a daily.
Lowriders started the stretched tire. They would stretch a 520 bias ply on a 14x7 wire wheel
It's because there are little to no options for wide tires without going to a 37+. Manufacturers haven't caught up.
I’m gonna try to put a 225 on a 12 wide you think it’ll work?
Is 305/35/r24 on a 24x12 -44 offset a lot of stretch tire
Why did I??...cause I had several sets of 275/55s that weren’t selling so I am using them! F r e e :D
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.
Will there be stretching on 275/45/20 on 20x10?
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?
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
Oversizing looks better. Buddy of mine has a '96 Dakota that got swapped to a 5.9L has cragars and hes running 295/50/15 Coopers in the rear and it gives the truck a beefy setup. forged, deep dish, and tire stretching should stick to the car community no offense if its your style it just seems to be less of a waste of money but more waste of a truck because it removes a lot of functionality but then again that's also 1/2 the car community lol. keep doin you @ everyone, might not be other peoples styles but shit they come out looking mean asf
Can I go 0.5 past spec?
