Stretching tires

[Chris Vu]

It's perfectly safe. I have the exact same setup. The offset however, you'll need to take care of. You'll most likely be rubbing, and need a roll and pull.

This thread confuses me... I know nothing about tire and rim fitment.

these are stretched tires, notice how baller/good it looks even tho these are on the extreme side and i dont reccomend for a daily driven car.

Lol I know that it looks good, I just don't understand the measurments and stuff like that.

lol i hear ya well the idea is to fit a slim/non wide, low profile tire on a WIDE wheel so the sidewall of the tire streches.

Do I have to take it anywhere special to get streched tires on a rim, or can like Discount tire do it if I ask? (Might get wheels soon, so I'm curious)

well first thing you do it order the tires online or wherever you get your tires and make sure they are the right size, i wouldnt go to a discount tire spot considering they never deal with stretched tires so they might end up damaging your wheels. Its not easy to install a stretched tire on a wide wheel so you have to becareful with who you let install your tires.

Alright, just wondering. I'm probably not gonna go with a streched tire look anyways, but I do still need to figure out what tires willfit nicely on the wheels I want.

Hi im wondering if this would be an unsafe stretch 205/40/18 on some 18x8.5 et 30 and 215/40/18 on some 18x9.5 et 25

no need for a 205/40 up front... a 215/40 will work just fine. 205/40 would look funny
