So I'm going to do the stretch, thanks a ton guys =) If you guys would be able to give me a quick tutorial on it; it would be great. I couldn't find one and would like to try it out.

i think you should drop it, honestly theres a million of people that stretch tires and have had no problem.

here you go theres my thread on a meet we just had locally, majority of the cars there were stretched to a point. I can guarantee you these people have $$ and dont live with their parents. Have they killed anyone?

lol first off for the record I LOVE the stretched tire look.

Cent get a better look than that imo.

But its obvious tires werent meant for this and to be honest the first time I saw it I was shocked that any tire place would do this, i actually thought it would be illegal and had to be done at home or in a personal garage.

I have never had stretched tires but of course it affects the tires lifespan, durability and safety.

On a side note 'D -BAG' is my new favourite term.


funny i always thought the wider the tire the more grip it would have? Silly me I guess

Guess all those perfromance guys with wide tires in the back are all for show---what fools they are.

Hey guys; lets just appreciate that we have the tools and money available to decide how we want our cars to look. Peace not war

I am going to drop it, not because there's a "Million People" which I doubt, running that setup, but because it's like talking to a smoker about how smoking is dangerous and hearing them defend it with "I don't have cancer, am I dead? No"... It's also apparently obvious that it's 2 or 3 guy's defending what they have on thier car, instead of applying simple logic... Here's a quick bent rim from camber and stretching thread right here from CL in the GS forum.. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...wy-fail-2.html
Enjoy you're increased rotational mass with decreased grip and ill-performance effects.

Peace not war?

I say fact not fiction

Bruh if some people enjoy it, let em be. If they feel comfortable in that set up you shouldn't not their grind because of facts. Its like skydiving is dangerous but people do it for the thrill, same thing digg?

LOL ^^^^^MDSC is getting angry again and somewhat abusive.

He wants to take you to the 'back roads' and teach u what he can do lol.

Also not once did i see anyone say they were proud to run 16's and have that sucked in look, there is a happy medium beetween and a sucked in stockie and a extremely stretched tire, its called a proper fitting wheel.

From an outsider perspective mdsc you are wrong and its not the first time.

You and him have something in common, you both argue till youre blue and talk smack about other things you know nothing about.
1. You argue about supra...and never driven or even rode in one.
2. Hes arguing about tire stretching from reading about it on the interwebs and owning a stock sc300, which handles like a old boat on stock sunken 16" wheels that are more narrow then 8.5"
and who said anything about extreme stretch? 215 on 8.5 its not even a stretch, i didnt have to use an air cheater or lighter fluid to get the bead to sit on the front...how is that extreme if anything its a baby stretch.

LOL mdsc its you that argues points till your bblack and blue, and that would be fine except that you argue losing points.

Tell me again how wider tires dont help with grip as i missed that. lol

Ahhh im done arguing as well i dont want to be labeled 'ignorant' or get threatened to be taken to the back roads for proving you wrong. lol

It takes a man to admit hes wrong mdsc , dont resort to petty insults and big talk to compensate for your false statements.

Always fun arguing with you mdsc it really is.

lol classic

Gosh, you guys.

For the record, a 235/45 on a 9" is a bit of a stretch. The sidewall is not vertical, maybe. 10 degrees inward. Just to sort of get on topic...

Where did i threaten anyone? I simply said i would love to show that the car handles great and i know for a fact better then his, i had multiple set ups, stock, 16" with 225s lowered, supra tt wheels with wide tires, and now this set up it has handled the best. You can think and read what you want, but i know from experience.
