Can't argue that, I've got the same goals man. Something that looks good, with a little bit of fun if needed.

 

As you are to me.... Hypocrisy is huge on this site, and quite amusing... When people are selling their cars it's always worth some crazy amount, the same car someone else can be looking at buying is worth half.... One style is correct because "people should be free to do what they please to their cars" and another style isn't because the general consensus of the other style's fanboys says it isn't.... It passes the slow times at work quite well for me.

 

SOooo...we can all agree stretching tires is a thing of personal style, tastes, and preference?
does it look better than a fatty meaty tire for a street car? IMO yes
does it look cool to see on a hard driven track car-hell yes.

is it for everyone..no

and as far as saftey..im on several "fitment heavy" forums like zilvia, stancenation, stanceworks, wrongfitmentcrew, fatlace, slamburglars, and canibeat(not even including motormavens and speedhunters because they have alot of both styles)...havnt seen one thread of anyone dying or even getting in an accident from running stretched tires

 

^^ that is one nice FC ibtl

 

Sorry, but I couldn't let that Cyber Evo response go lol. Here are photos someone took of it's wheels/tires at a super lap battle in Australia on race day. They certainly don't look as stretched as those in the original photo. A 265 race tires is not that stretched on a 10.5" wheel.

 

I would without a doubt rather have as much rubber on the road as possible, with a wide rim put the widest tire possible on it. I see no reason to have a stretched tire. That said, it is personal opinion of course. It's like a lot of other fads, it comes from people being poor and making due with what they have, now it's trendy.

 

EASIER FITMENT-MORE LOWER, LESS RUBBING, LESS FENDER WORK..its has a purpose
and stiffer tires means easier sliding..
not everyone has fun going fast in a straight line only even tho its trendy nowadays for some to do =| haha

 

If you can't afford proper fitment, suspension, fender work or quality tires, you are making due with what you have yes.

 

Don't be fooled. Some of these guys spend sooooo much money replacing even the cheapest tires. I couldn't afford to look that cool.

 

I FEEL SO BAD FOR ALL THESE POOR BROKE PEOPLE WITH NO MONIES TO AFFORD BETTER TIRES AND PARTS








STYLE AND PERSONALITY ISNT A TREND

 

I like that I can keep quoting myself to reply. People who obviously have money to do things right but choose to stretch tires are doing so because it is now trendy.

 

What if I simply enjoy the way it looks, not because its trending but because I genuinely enjoy the look? You know, enough judgement.

 

I said at the very beginning it is personal opinion. If you like it, go for it. It is not judging it was my opinion that I don't like it, I didn't say other people shouldn't do it.

 

this "trend" has been around for 20 years. tire stretching is nothing new.

 

this thread is about tire stretching..not "why should i be too much of a pink taco to stretch my tires or hate on it just because its not the norm and i just dont like it"

people have been stretching tires for 20 years plus..if you dont like it start your own meaty tire thread and GTFO
