On the left is what i would consider an Astronomical Stretch, unreasonable on the right... just FYI :smile:
I have see 195's stretched onto 11.0" rims for cars that are just show cars and are not driven faster than 5 miles per hour
i dont get why people stretch tires...a little stretching is sometimes necessary, like my snow tires for my eg. but why stretch to insane proportions? it looks weird and is dangerous, right?

xtra wide rims + stretch tires on honda are adapt from vw's, German's & Canadians vw enthusiasts been stretching tires since the 80's... if you been around with vw's.. you'll get used to the look
it's not dangerous, but i don't think it's safe either..
thanks team 3d, but yes, it's not nessesarily umnsafe, unless you go completely over board, but a lot of people like to show the brim of the wheel and in essence show off the wheels. Also, i personally find it looks cool
For example, i'll be stretching some 205's on 8.0" wide rims, yes a very mild stretch, but i think it'll still look great
yeah a mild stretch is cool, i think it does look neat to show a LITTLE lip...but remember that celica that i think bluestar posted the vid of? the retardedly crazy camber one? those tires are INSANELY stretched. like, i-didnt-know-that-was-physically-possible kinda stretch. and how do the tires even stay on?

they actually only stay on because of pressure, some guys will actually melt their tires to get them to stretch enough lol.. falls under the impossible level lol

see, to me thats CRAZY...to each his own i guess, but I appreciate balance. going to any extreme with any mod will eventually do your car in. I dont have the money to change out tires every week, but i guess some people do. Props to them! :thumb:
Opinions on an 18 x 8 with im guessing have to be a 45? or 35?R18225 tire to fit our cars stock size? And will a 5 x 114.3 lug pattern match? Would 18 x 9 with 225s look bad?

1" Wheel Spacers on Si HFP
Hey guys need to buy some spacers for the car because the wheels the car came with are too slim. Instead of spending the cash to have new wheels and tires put on, i'm just gonna put wheels spacers on for now. At least that way the wheels would be flush with the...
