Not at the moment but I probably will for the new set of wheels I got for my g35. They’re Rays LMGT3’s :) 18x9+25 in the back and 18x7+22 in the front, nice and flush without spacers. I’m also on coilovers and it’s dumped, and rolled so if I pick the right sizing of tires and a bit of fender pulling they’ll be nice and tucked with no rubbing. I currently have 235’s on the back, and I don’t want a lot of stretch so hopefully it’s not too crazy.

I have 13x8 +4 wheels with a 205/60 tire on my Miata. I mounted the wheels myself and balanced them with harbor freight tape weights. When the harbor freight weights inevitably lost their stick I called up discount tire to see if they could balance my tires and I was met with a very angry man who claimed I was an “endangerment to the roadway” and they wouldn’t balance my tires.

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’ll pass on the tire stretch... not my cup of tea😂😂😂

I like the rebellion of the stretched tire. Assuming it's roots was based on Volkswagens in Germany and to keep the tire tread in the wheel well when the authorities tried to be a bunch of jerks. It was a middle finger to authority, and creative.

Im stretched on 10.5 inch wide with 255/35-19 and it looks awesome not a crazy stretch but definitely pretty safe

I can't stand stretched tires. Then again I like track performance, so what I want is a meaty setup where the tire bubbles a bit. I do understand that stretched tires are for looks and to get a certain fitment right, but I don't see the appeal. Does anyone have an example of why people like this so much?

I had 205 40 16 on 16x9 wheels for years on my mk2 vw daily driver. Never had a issue other then the wheel lip would get scratched up from not having any sidewall protection..

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.

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

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 don't have my car in the gallery so I used the calculator and watched all the videos on proper fitment to pick out new rims and tires. Now we will see if they get here Friday and if they work.

I have a 17 x9.75 XXR 527 With 215/50/17 i took corners like a drifter hit canyons very hard and fwy on ramps all the time . The tires are 4 years old had a flat tire did not de bead i plugged it aired it back up in driveway never had a problem

Great post I always learn something new nice

My TRD Camry came with factory 235 40 19 Michelin Primacy tires. The wheel is 8.5 inch wide so it has a slight stretch on it from factory. The minimum recomended tire size is 235 on 8.5 so it looks great and I have felt the consistancy in hard cornering. My steering response is incredible and the way this thing changes directions at high speeds is amazing. Now the tire and light weight and suspension setup of the car helps as well. It has different suspension than the XSE V6 Camry from factory. These wheels are lighter and TRD installed this size for better side lateral grip. So the tires matter. My next tire is a Michelin Pilot Sport Allseason 4 which is hella better in performance and ride quality. I will be putting the same factory size on and my car will perform WAY better. At the same size those tires are 2 pounds less then the factory tire so less rolling resistance. I look forward to that. So I think a very slight stretch might help performance based on the level and compound of tire and suspension setup. Anything more and it looks unsafe to be honest. Remember engineers provide us with maximum and minimum number for tires and wheel fitment for a reason.

I just got R888r’s for my 335is rears yesterday. They look good 🔥

Riding on stretched tires for years on my LS400. Never had issues only with one wheel getting debeaded going like 2 miles an hour. . I've seen some crazy stretch setup that I thought were insane like where the lip still has 2 or 3 inches of metal and the tires is just chillin . That's scary.

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

Edit always ok fire🔥

I have slight stretched tire and I just curbed my rim without actually hitting any curb ... I also don't drive it in the rain cause I respect life.

alright lemme cop some quick internet second opinions (I know what im getting myself into) Bought a awd daily, came with 9.5x18 wheels with a 225, bout 3 degrees of camber in back. I was going to put 255s on but the tires are basically new and i could use the money so i was just going to ride it out until next fall. but i live in michigan and its spring. is the stretch so excessive i should worry about things like hydroplaning or am i probably safe until the fall?

I run 10x8 with a 195 stretched on it and its ok, but I just got a set of 16x8 with 205/45s to be fitted soon!

Can't decide if I wanna run 245/35's or 255/35's on my 20x10.5 wheels with -2 or 3 degrees of camber if I still wanna corner spirited?

Hey do you have a vid on tire pressure? Should I run more pressure with a stretched tire?

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'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.

@snek9353

@@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.

I have a 215/35/R19 stretch on a 8.5J square setup, which is bordering on illegal but still isn't a big stretch by any means and I honestly don't know how people can go any further. Especially on a daily driver with painted/powder coated wheels. It's just enough for the outer bead lip of the alloy wheel itself to protrude, and it's so prone to peeling by literally anything that touches it. I'm not even talking about kerb rash, I mean I have to get my wheels refurbished almost as often as I change my oil because the stone chippings from the road just destroy the coating on the wheels.

Not to mention that it messed with the wheel balance so much that anytime he went faster than 50mph his car would shake
