Taken a few weeks back....wheels are already on the car...takin pics this week...for now...

19x9.5/10.5....225 front 245 rear.....yawn*...stretch...

 

looks good. i rocked 225/45 on a 9.5 before. right now have 245/40 on 10". had a 215 on a 9" too

need more pix though.

 

how does that looks good^^^? tire stretching ftl...

 

Looked similar to my 10.5 with a 245.... but now rocking a 265.

 

to each their own. every car has a purpose.

for a street cruiser i would slam it as low as i can and tuck pretty much the whole sidewall while being flush/poking tire a bit.

for the track i wouldnt care how it looks. i would raise it to sane height and run a normal size tire like a 265/35 on a 10-10.5" wheel.

just because you dont like it doesnt mean it doesnt look good. i personally dont like 97+ body, AC kits, pr RSP. thats just me and doesnt mean it looks bad because i dont like it.

 

steeped lips FTW!!!

 

without seeing them on the car i'm surprised at ur response...u must not like this sc cause it has stretched tires...

 

Dat Pilipino guy in da background with the white undershirt looks like he is contemplating suicide. Poor fella!

But to your stretch, meh... I was running 215 on 9.5 and 245 on 10.5 as well.

 

...theres alot of myths and misconceptions about stretched tires...its more than jes for looks...

for me, this is my idea of a perfect stretch and fitment...

 

a lot of stretch is mostly for the "flush look" and making the wheels fit and look "cool"

a mild stretch actually pre-loads the side wall and prevents it from flexing under cornering.

most people that dont like stretching tires are into big fat tires to hook up and go in a straight line and in that case the taller the side wall the better but for roadracing you dont want the sidewall to flex.

try stretching a set of bridgestone potenza s-03's, re-01r's...wont happen. sidewall is very stiff. most toyo and dunlop tires are a lot softer and will stretch nicely.

Different strokes for different folks. Our SC's would be boring if everyone had the same tastes and styles.

rpx13: Can't wait to see the full car! I love it already!

i had 225/35 on 18x9.5 & 235/40 on 18x10.5. federal ss595. didnt even look that stretched and drove fine..
