oooo stretched tires = you better be careful if you daily drive.....

I know from experience....its better to run a tire that fits the rim better and pull and roll your fenders properly to let the wheel travel as necessary.

He had to stretch them a pretty good ways.....

If you pulled the fendera bit you could run a bigger tire. That stretch is alot.

I've always said that the wheels make or break the car.

Specifically, I should say fitment can make or break the car.

Not many people have seen this car, and it's not VIP,
but I went for the "flush" look on my MR2 (1985 first-gen).

18x8 with 205/35-18 & 18x9 with 235/30-18 on coilovers.
Wheels actually stick out about 3mm past the fenders...
