^I know that. I’m just saying. Why buy that size of rim if you: A, Can’t fit it under your wells without mod’ing them. B, if you can’t afford (or have no intent on buying) the proper sized tire. To me it doesn’t make sense. I know a lot of people think it looks cool but I just don’t see the point. Meh. ---

They weren’t bought for that car. They were bought for a car that they do fit on, but mounted on a different one. ---

“So my moms 350Z **needed new tires for the stock rims** and I have to wait until I can get her some; hence I figured **why not toss the drift beater rims off my race car** onto it.” ---

Meh. its not that ppl cant afford the wide tire for the rim…in fact alot of ppl have more then 1 set of rims with stretch tires on them. as u can read from link i posted from zilvia has all the answers for stretch tires.
