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...

 

^ pics of fiance and pic of fiance sitting in car with 245's or fail. jp

 

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...

 

^^ damn

 

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

and here is rears from the last set of wheels I had

245/40/18 on 10 wide...



my old wheels before that with a 225/45/18 on 9 wide,

 

I don't consider those stretch. I had a tires like that on my 97 protege.

 

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
