I disagree. You can turbo a single cam honda with a built motor and make 500 horsepower, or you can buy a Bentley Brooklands. Guess how many people would pick the Honda assuming similar performance? None. Thats how many. That's why I just spent several thousands of dollars on a car with wood trim and leather interior instead of putting a hayabusa motor into the back of a geo. Because at the end of the day an 11 second Geo is still a fucking Geo, and my heated seats will keep my ass nice and toasty. Theres a lot more to speed than speed itself.

First off, Centerlines are where it's at - so you're wrong. Second off, no one likes Bullitts... You need a special lug wrench! Third off, who the fuck needs a 295? Outlaw guys run a 10.5 tire, that's all anybody should need! All in all, you fail to make any good points. BUT! Thanks for calling my 'merican muscle car badass.
I appreciate it!

That is NOT a stretch, that is a tire with NO sidewall....God I hate when people blame something that isn't even the reason. My fiance runs 245's on her 10 wide wheels and they have NO problems...

she is on here just search...Dragongirl....
She runs Bridgestone Potenza REO50's that have a a huge lip gaurd so they don't look as stretched as they actually are.
Her front 225's on the 9 wide and the 245 on the 10 wide in back.

the streching actually serves a purpose (to a point). when you strech a tire the sidewalls are stiffer, therefor, less sidewall flex. just sayin but.... putting a 195mm tire on a 90 inch wheel is fucking stupid...

i bent a steelie on the highway when there was a dip. having stretched tires doesnt automatically mean you are going to ruin your rims. tell your friend to learn how to drive a modified car. my summer wheels have tires that are stretched more than his and i dont have any curb rash or any bends. and i live in new england now. way worse roads than florida.

???? Inever said they were extreme, but the 245/40/18 on a 10 wide is definately a stretched tire
