Like I said, stretch, is fine, a little bit of stretch generally looks great, much better than tire bulge, square or slightly stretched is nice, but running itty bitty tires is going to result in less traction.
That's the whole difference, what I do with my car 215s have plenty of width. I don't plan on drag launching, ever. I will have like 300+whp Ka-t very soon, and will still be happy with my 215/45 maybe a 225/45 rear if I run azenis up front.
