Your car looks nice, but your wheels are super sunken and I don't see why you had to stretch your tires. If you're supercharged now I wouldn't recommend such a small contact patch because you'll need traction.

WHY did you even bother stretching a tire over those wheels? Unnecessary.

You could run a beefy straight wall'd tire with no stretch at all to maximize traction/tire life, and a better tire than a fk452 as well and probably save some money.

Stretching is function, not fashion.

I did stretch for function thank you very much. You havent even seen it rears in person, on top of that the front still rubs all the way down and I wanted to be able to ride really low.
