Tire stretching
#2
NO! it would be unsafe to even try. IF you were able to get stretch a whole inch, it would be hella unsafe to drive on. Not only for you, your passangers, but other drivers/by-standards. The bead of the tire is reinforced so much more than the sidewall. when you stretch a tire you are making it wider than it was manufactured to be. There is no way to make a tire fit a wheel larger than it was manufactured to fit. I dont suggest even trying this.
Sell the wheels and get smaller wheels you can afford tires for..... Got pics?

There are a few peeps on here that have fender rollers. The trick is, to see if they will let you use it.

Is it that hard to understand?
Buy a skinnier tire, it'll stretch.
Putting a 18inch tire on a 19 inch rim will not work, and it has absolutly nothing to do with "stretching" a tire.
"stretching" a tire is simply putting a narrow tire on a wide rim.
Example: 205/40/19 tire would be a stretch for your 9.5" wide rim.
So, do you understand now?

rimtuck.com is what i usually use to reference a stretch when customers come in wanting to stretch their tires. btw, give the guy a break, hes here to learn. and now he knows you shouldnt even think about 18s on a 19in wheel.
when i stretched 225 35 19s on my 9.5 it wasnt hard at all to mount. just takes time
ps. im aware its not the most aggressive stretch but it sure makes curbs scary when parallel parking!
