Wide Rubber

[swollix]

I might be one of the few these days who thinks stretched tires look stupid so post pics of your anti-stretch in this thread. Try to keep it with only IA member pics... I'll start:

looks good. When I see some meat like that, I know the car is drivin how its supposed to be. And when I see stretched tires, I think of hard parkers. So my concept of the stupidity of streched tires is based on what its on.

[canadianrcis]

well then again if your going for fitment you need stretch. so obviously you dont want fitment.

[silverDA]

you made 2 threads.

[Mantooth]

I would have put some 215s on there, but hey, whatever works.;)

Yeah I would get plenty of traction with 215's but I decided to go 100mm wider. Thanks for posting a pic.

[Nerdsrock22]

^If that's not fitment, then I have no idea what anyone is talking about.

205 on a 6". It ain't much, but it sure ain't stretch.

naw, needs to be about 2 inches lower for "fitment" but I still think it looks great. Keep it up. :goodjob:

Big wheels doesn't mean narrower tire:
19x8.5, 35*offet with 235/35...still sits nice, tire tucked in, functions as i want it to.

[UpSideDownDesi]

My next will be about 18x9.5 with either 255's or 265's (after that i am gonna need -3+ to -4 camber for setup to fit and not hit struts...don't want). Those sizes listed above will sit perfectly, tuck in without much camber.

It's not too hard to slap on a wide wheel, put narrow ass tires, throw massive negative chamber and make it fit (give that's the fad rite now). Now try that with meaty tire, same width tire, same drop, and have it function properly.

[Elbow]

I'll post my track wheels in a few, bad ass thread.

[Dirty Octopus™]

looks great! on YOUR car. not so much on a car going for absolute flush fitment. Big tires are GREAT when this is the look you're going for.

Small tires are great when you're going for a stanced/fitted look. I appreciate both.


Stop the hate.

Stop the hate.

A car can be properly stanced with non-stretched tires.

I don't hate the stretch movement at all, but I just enjoy seeing good fitment with solid stance every now and again.

this is true. but like i said different vehicle applications require different tire fitment. i'll be DAMNED if i had a Vette or a Stang with stretched tires. WTF? :no:
But my Honda will require the stretched look. I'm a lovuer not a fighter. I love it all but hate haters.

I will join the anti-stretch movement. LOL at all the stretch fanboys comming in here like we are directly attacking them. I hate stretched tires, but why do you feel the need to come and defend yourself, we have different tastes. I think stretched tires look like shit, you're not going to change that opinion for me, so why not let us non stretched IAers post up our tires that fit, I mean, you guys have tons of slammed and hella flush threads.

I wish I had flares and wider tires but since my Mazda has 4 by 110 rare ass bolt pattern, I'm stuck with 13 by 6 wheels. So my 205s aren't wide, but sure as hell aren't stretched.

Quote of the god damn decade right here. I also believe proper fitment equates to having the wheel NOT stick out farther than the body and having tires that fit the rim. A slight stretch can help this fitment, but 225's on a 10 inch wheel is taking it too far.

[SNOOPy00]

i dont see why everyones getting all uptight about this tire/fitment issue...i was just joking earlier.....do whatcha do and keep it moving.......there wil always be haters in every situation....if you like hamburglers thats fine and if you like rubber bands thats fine tooo......i agree with DO...it all depends on the car and its intended use....

[NewGen33]

I see segregation at the next v meet. Stretched on one side fitment on the other.

[Fast Shadow]

19x9.5 245/35
19x10.5 275/30

Yoko AD08 tires which run quite a bit wider than the sizes indicate, an AD08 in 275 is wider than a Nitto or PS2 285

Could fit a 295/30 in rear but I am already pretty aggressive at +15. It's my daily driver, I can't make it totally unpractical. I could also fit a 265/30 in front but thin/stiff sidewalls in front make the ride harsher and more skittish on rough roads.

Is that what you got? You must not know how to comprehend very well. All I said was that he drives his car to pick up dudes. I dont know how on earth that translates to my civic is the greatest car on earth and his corvette sucks ass. But I guess you must be seeing something between the lines that im not seeing. Or you can be one of the other nut riders thats just gonna hate to hate.

I see segregation at the next v meet. Stretched on one side fitment on the other.

The tuner scene is starting to evolve yet again, and now I see a new (and somewhat controversial) trend starting to take form. First there was the whole Nopi-fied body kit movement... then the market became saturated with "JDM" bullshit.... and now it looks as if the next big thing is going to be stance. Stretched tires, wheel rims sticking out past fenders with hardly any rubber to be seen. I'm not sure what I'm getting at here.... I guess it's just nice to see the scene evolve like this and see so many people getting passionate about what they think is right / looks good / etc.

Now some of you may be asking...why stuff so much damn rubber under there, if you ain't making shit tons of power?

Well, your brakes are only as good as your contact patch, and I'll be damned if there's a 215 that will keep these sumbitches from locking down...

I'm not on here nearly as much as I used to be, but this is easily one of the most bonerific threads I've seen in awhile. Glad to see there are in fact some people on here with the same taste as me. No pics since the tires, but on my WRX I'm running 245s on a 17x8 wheel and it looks mean (obviously can't hold a candle to some of these rwd cars though).

They can also narrow factory wheels to 17x5. This guy narrowed stock Mach 1 wheels and widened the rears from 8" to 10.5" http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/

Hence why I made a point of saying that my tire sizes are justified by my brake setup. I don't have ABS like most of the guys that have posted in this thread, so I gotta have grip up front, considering that my STOCK brakes were locking down with a 225 up front.

I have no idea what my car was making on #'s though...it had an HKS GT2540R with bigger injectors and a ROM tune. Probably 250'ish on a good day. I'm done fooling with bottom mount T2small setups, so take that however you will...

[swollix]

My 315's are handling about 430 HP at the crank...
I only have high-flow mufflers and K&N Filter though.

Ok, if you don't like tires that are the appropriate width for your wheels, you should stay out of this thread.

Might not seem like much, but on a small car - 235-40/17 slicks (which we all know run wider, so more like a 245-40/17).

[Stol3n]

19x9.5 245/35
19x10.5 275/30

Yoko AD08 tires which run quite a bit wider than the sizes indicate, an AD08 in 275 is wider than a Nitto or PS2 285

Could fit a 295/30 in rear but I am already pretty aggressive at +15. It's my daily driver, I can't make it totally unpractical. I could also fit a 265/30 in front but thin/stiff sidewalls in front make the ride harsher and more skittish on rough roads.

the thought has crossed my mind, but it looks like one of those "very expensive parts that needs to be there, but breaks easily removing" deals.

I was kinda screwed on the wheel options, I have to run a 18X10 to clear the brakes and my choices very very limited in this bolt pattern/offset. Most didn't clear the calipers. SSR was the only other that cleared, but they are NLA.
