cool wheels, but what do VW owners really find cool about stretching the tires? i dont see why it’s ever done… and newman said go with 265’s…but i know 275’s will fit on a 9.5 rim…way more meat than you’ll ever need…but still way more baller than stretching… but i really am curious as to how stretching became popular among the vw crowd, and for what reason/benefit? ---

If I had seen a picture of just the wheels I don’t think I would have liked them.
