Default Mustangs "stretching tires" lol

Just a funny thing i came across. These mustangs guys think they're "stretching tires" to much with a 255 on a 8.5in wheel.

255/35 on a 10" wide wheel? - Mustang Forums at StangNet

In the non-jdmomgwtfdriftking world a 255 on a 10" wheel is considered stretched by tire and wheel manufactures.

If the rim is poking out past the tire, it is stretched. I had 255's on a 17x10, they were definitely stretched.

i have a 205/45/17 on a 9 inch rim up front and a 235/45/17 on a 10.5 inch rim in the rear..
ps i couldnt fit the 225/45 on the 10.5 with using your basic tire machine so i went bigger lol..

I'm sure there are other's out there with even worse...

there's just something about driving on the side walls that turns me off.

Stretching tires like that is retarded. How do you expect to put power down with rubber bands for grip?
