I think I am going to find a tire off a old Mini Cooper and stretch that on there. Is it possible to stretch a 12 inch tire on a 14 inch wheel?

Actually all jokes aside. I am probably picking up some R888's sometime this week. Either that or Rt615's.

Very very true, just glad I finally got time to do it.

You don't need a stretched tire to fit those wheels, cody ran like 235-245 on them and they fit fine. And he had the camber almost set to 0.

Fitment has nothing to do with it, just personal opinion. I just think it looks too squared off. of course i can fit these wheels since theyre like +32423 offset. A 25mm spacer would almost make them sit even with the fender..almost.

so, youre trying to stretch tires, on wheels that you can fit with no problem, just to have a stretched tire?

stretching tires on this forum is to roll center on racing forums.
stupid queer bullshit.

yeah man, stretch a tire, then run a 50 mil spacer.
will look just about as fucking stupid as your last wheels.

Tire stretch is for fitment, if my wheels would fit with them I would run 235/40 on my 9" wheels.

Those wheels need a 215/225 stagger and then like 10/15mm spacers. And a 25mm spacer would put those wheels past the fender. I have seen them 100s of times on codys car, and they were barely sunk.

Fitment and stance in 2010 = stickers/neons of 2001. Fanatical bullshit that doesn't make your car faster.
