It would be my guess you could stretch them because the sidewalls are practically bomb proof. I was able to stand on the tires (vertically) with no rim in them and they did not even bend hardly at all. After driving on them for about a month now I can say they have a much stiffer side wall than the Falken Azenis! These things handle VERY well and are extreemly consistant!

Just for legal reasons I am not saying that you should stretch them, I was just giving an opinion.

Front and rear! Technically its always best to run same sticky tires front and rear if you can afford it!

But when will they "TRULY" be available. I may need something within 30 days.

As i said I run 195/60/14 on my 14x8. I'm guessing this fitment would be impossible with these tires. For those of you who have seen this tire in person. Will it stretch at all?
