So you guys are putting smaller tires on bigger wheels for what? a look? I thought the point of getting wider wheels was to fit wider tires on them?

What will they do next.

IIRC, tire stretch was originally a drifting thing to prevent sidewall flex when changing direction at high speeds. So it had a purpose. On rwd drift cars that is.
