It sucks to roll hard

[PURP]

Spent 3 days trying to find someone to blow these bitches on. Finally went to Butler Tire.They have done this tire size vs. wheel width before, but the barrel design of the HRE's, make it a pain in the ass. So, tomorrow I'm going to an old school place to get them blown on. Using ether, blah blah blah. I just want to drive it again. Oh, and the sizes are, 225/45/17 going on a 17x10.5.

On a better note... I did get the car running 98%. It was an exciting journey.lol. But she doesn't have the james bond smoking issue, anymore. And it idles perfect now. Could use a few adjustments, but overall she's there. Next comes fixing all the body damage, including the fucked up fender and front bumper. When I get tires for the front, I will be taking the wheel to get fixed as well. She's getting there with lots of money and time.. lolol

[03RCode]

Always loved this car, can't wait to see it finished.

[Elbow]

I can go ahead and tell you your tires do not fit those wheels properly.

What car is this? BMW?

Thanks everyone.

[Mantooth]

Maybe if you got the proper tire size it would be on the road already...

now why on earth would he watn to do that!

rolling hard aint easy!

[PURP]

Here is an old pic when Logan owned it with 225's...

225/45 on a 10.5 isn't that extreme, people do it all the time and it shouldn't be that hard to mount. I don't know what those tires are though.

Well, the issue is with the inner barrel. They can't get the bead to pop out over it because of it's depth... Here's a pic for example... You can see how the lip steps down a good amount.

[EL42]

when you're good at what u do,sometimes it looks like it's easy. (it still ain't) but it looks easy.

[JITB]

harder

[Saung]

Good luck man. I haven't seen any wheels and tires like those since the low rider trucks age.

[oneSLOWex]

God Kevin....didnt you know we should all track our cars and have tires that are not stretched because it hurts the performance? LMFAO


Glad you finally got some tires and stopped that bish from smoking! I almost passed out like 3 times when i was down there being behind you LUlz

[Mantooth]

Whats not safe about what hes doing?

[Mantooth]

Whats not safe about what hes doing?Not sure what the stock wheels are, but 225s seem skinnier than stock, which would make a smaller contact patch. Heavier wheels + smaller contact patch on tires would equal a longer stopping distance.

True....but he barely drives the car though and doesn't drive fast when he does.

[Mantooth]

True....but he barely drives the car though and doesn't drive fast when he does.Also, one functionality of a tire is to protect the wheels. I don't know about you, but even if I had an expendable amount of money, I would hate to bang up an HRE. Also, I think it's going to look stupid. Again, that's just my opinion, so that part of my argument is subjective.

[Elbow]

Not to make this a stretched tire debate as I was kidding. I love this car, BUT, every car I've driven with stretched tires is downright scary, on the interstate it's honestly dangerous.

[NoWAyItZTOMmY]

hey purp i went to this tire place gtikid told me about and they got my tires fitted for me. 195/50 on a 8.5

really? My car rides super comfy. I don't even see how stretching a tire would cause the car to be dangerous.

And Kevin, I dunno about mounting those. That lip is kinda goofy.

[thecrazyone]

i think stretched tires are dumb.

but i guess we can wait for the pics when they fail. lol

[BKgen®]

All of you, shut the fuck up. Jesus, so what if he wants to stretch his damn tires?? Why get your panties in a wad over somebody else's wheels? You don't have to drive the damn car.

I <3 you all (.59% homo), but some of you don't know how to do anything but whine like a Whipple.

Tire/wheel size is just stupid.

There's no point.

[Dirty Octopus™]

I'm going there Friday to get my 225/40s on my 9.5J and my 235/40s on my 10J.

[Dirty Octopus™]

Oh BTW! I'm super happy everything is coming together Kev! :goodjob:

Awesome car man keep up the good upgrades!

[driftyboy]

Fuck the haters, stretched FTMFW. Awesome car, bro.

[csmiths]

god all you people bitching about stretched tires have no idea wtf your talking about.


First: He needs to stretch the tires to make them fit on the god damn car, and if you think that is stupid then you just dont understand. Which is perfectly fine.

Second: That is that "crazy" of a stretch.

Third: For all the people who is saying that stretching is so unsafe, why in the fuck are their so many people who do it and never have issues? I have never seen a case where someone has said that just becuase of a stretched tires they had a blow out or it came unbeaded or anything of the source. I have seen where certain tire brands can get bubbles in them but that is a risk that you take because you a weakening the sidewall.

Fourth: I have ridden on stretched tires on alot of cars, and the only one that rode bad has huge ass bubbles on the rear tires. (you know who you are)



and kevin, you dont roll hard....but you do suck

[JITB]

you make me want to put 225's on my 10.5 but im scared.. ill just stick to my 245s..lol

[Kirtsky]

Okay, opinions aside, I have to ask. Why stretch the tires to a larger rim? Is it just a styling thing, or is it not wanting to shell out the coin for tires that fit the wheel properly?


Not being a smart ass, I have just seen this more these days and was wondering.

It is so the tire will sit inside the wheel well.
