Who stretches tires??
I need some new tires and when I went to my local rim shop here (not just any normal tire shop) the guy was really hesitant about saying he could put them on and I dont want him fuckin the wheel up. So anyone know who does it? Its a 225/45/17 on a 10.5(I think) wheel. Thanks

they're usually the ones that want you to but 355's on a 8.5 inch wheel
you want to put a 225 on a 10.5 wheel I would like to see pics of this
Ballerness is like butter you just can't blob it in one place you got to spread that shit around
What's the point of stretching tires? Not trying to be a douche but i don't understand what the point of stretching tires is.
Its a fad they MUST follow.

Why follow when you can lead
stretching tires is good for drifting. thats the only reason i would run stretch tires. so that more of the tire is on the ground. the only bad thing is when you blow a tire your pretty much ridding on the rim.
I stretch vagina's
lulz.
I tried 3 places before a place could mount them. Don't use any big places, they won't touch them. Ask if they have a "cheetah". They have to use that to mount them.

yeah, great tire size really.
I run a 225/40 on a 10 normally.
i do it for clearance.
Some people don't get it! It's for CLEARANCE!!! All about the offset! :boobies:

I thought the whole FAD of streching tires was done so that underpowered cars could spin the tires better. it takes less power to spin a 225 on a 10" wheel than on a 7.5" wheel. In jdm land they call it demon camber.

so why would andy sapp, cody wellons, sammy from tiger racing run stretch tires if it didnt serve a purpose. and they all run a 9.5 wheel. im about to try to run a stretch tire to drift on so i can see what this is all about. 195 on z wheels.
why would you capitalize FAD? its been going on for decades. its obviously not going anywhere.
Yeah, cause tire size has everything to do with camber. stupid fuck.
You haven't told anyone that those are my boobs in your avatar right? Wouldn't want people going crazy or anything...I know how you get jealous

explain then please. so you can spread knowledge without being a dick hole. not every body knows everything. ive never knew a whole lot on wheels and tires
nvm. its for fitment reason. to clear fenders im assuming for wide ass tire and less sidewall flex
This subject gets pretty heated, it bothers me when people talk without knowing anything. Not being a dick, just trying to inform.
Ok,
In drifting, stretched tires increases sidewall rigidity. So, less sidewall flex. NO, the tires will NOT come off if you hit a pothole. NO, they do not unbead themselves.
Stretched tires is also for CLEARING FENDERS. You can't be flush without a bit of stretch.
For example. My old whip. These wheels would not fit if I ran 335's. There are no spacers. The wheels bolt on like this.

Anything that can be sprayed inside the tire, and then lit.
Or just buy a cheetah bead seater and you can pretty much stretch anything then its what i use at work

FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!
bump it back up. need some suggestions
stretching is stupid, the only reason i did it was bc I took the tires off the front rims and put them on the back since they were new, and replaced the front. I just had bought the car a week before that so didnt have the money for new tires.
and that is relative to the thread, how?
LMFAO this thread is awesome.
"If so and so did it it must be for function."
LOL at a stretched tire having more contact LMFAO.
Lol damn this thread is old.
Like Logan said I needed a stretched tire because on our previous vehicle (the one he pictured) you cant fit the ACTUAL sized tire that needs to be on the rim.
Anyways a small local tire shop right down the road from my house did it. All they need is a Cheetah
Just gonig to throw this out there, not bashing or anything.
I HATE stretched tires and I see no benefit. IF it is for clearance, buy a damn wheel that fits. That is all.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
