I am not down with any of these "trends". I do have a MILD stretch to the tires on my 81 Corolla but to me its not for looks it is for more of a performance standpoint. When I did it I played around with the fitment of my wheels and tires a little and what I come up with was what I could afford at the time. I'm currently running 14x7 Celica-Supra wheels on my car with 195/60s on them. Its not a crazy stretch like demonstrated above but enough to stiffen up the tallwall enough that the car actually felt a decent in the curves. When I get home I will be converting over to 5x114.3 bolt pattern and running some 17s with lower profile tires on them so it will be done right but with the $$$ available I used the stretching option. that is all.
