Default Accelera Tires Stretched

I decided to try something different. I see everyone stretching Achilles tires and Falkens. So i decided to buy some Accelera tires and have them stretched. The STS by my house in NewJersey in Union did them for me. The rears are 255/35/20 mounted on 20x12 rims....and the fronts are 225/35/20 mounted on 20x10.

I don't understand what your talking about when you say poor car...also, what does me not leaving my car at the parking lot have to do with this post?

I'm all for personalization and if this is what you like go for it. Most everyone who does not approve of this is coming from a safety stand point. That amount of stretch does not look safe.

I believe achilles tend to run narrow; and if acceleras are made in the same factory, i can see why. IMO, I wouldnt want a 255 accelera on the 12. I'd run at least a 275 or 285 tire on that 12, since they look narrow(er) but that's just me

I totally agree. I definitely wouldn't want to take a turn with that set up.

Can you post up pics of your ride? I just want to see what your car looks like for you to need to stretch tires that much.
