Thats what I’m saying. Like what is your purpose with the super narrow tires, especially on the rear. You just want to stretch them like all German tuners or what? Shit, I just had 225/45-R17 put on some 7" wheels.

Not saying there is anything wrong, I just don’t understand why?

Can anyone answer? Is there any actual reason other than the stretched tires?
