my question is, will these tires be okay to stretch? i figure its only half an inch on each side, and they already have some serious sidewalls, but im not sure (i dont know too much about tire fitment, etc.) i’ve seen tires stretched wayyy too far before, so to me this doesnt seem like a big deal (just wanna get an okay from a few people haha)… here’s how it sits now, but dont worry i ordered some meghan lowering springs (2.5in drop) on friday, so this will be a sweet looking setup if i go through with it. any input would be great! thanks!
don’t know how stiff the wall are, but on my slicks i have streched them out as far as using an 11" rim on a 9" tire with no problems. should be ok with one 1" diff
cool i thought so! i had some guy on 3si warn me like “ohhh no no no! i use a 265, but i wish i went 275”, but his tires looked wayyy more stretched than mine even will. i think im gonna buy em (but i’ll wait until i see how it looks with the lowering springs). thanks for the input!
265s and 275s will give u no stretch. people that don’t like stretch always will give you recomendations without stretch cause people don’t actually pay attention to questions.
Ahhh that 240 looks sick! Haha thanks again! I’m a broke ass 18 year old senior though, but I have enough for the battles, and hopefully I’ll make some money back off the sale of my wheels
edit I see some spriengzzzz on stock dampers so wheel gap will still be about 2-3 inches. I wont even go there about blowing the valves out of the struts in 3000 miles… this is a tire thread.
Stretched tire fad is for tuckign tires up in rolled fenders, becasue the fitment is sooo close to hitting the inside of the fenders.
moral of the story, put a normal tire on it… its not a VW.
I bought lowering springs that should be here early this week. Should have read my first post lol it should sit very close to the fenders, and I have to stretch bc I can’t afford new tires too haha
no worries! and its not a 5 inch gap. the back end of my car does look completely ridiculous, but it should sit nicer than 3 inches (i hope! or i probably won’t get the battles until i can afford coilovers too)
