First of all a 145/40 will have the sidewall of an elastic band. Second, a 145 width isnt much wider then a spare doughnut Third, its dumb Fourth, Its very very dumb. Edit, Did I mention thats the dumbest idea I’ve heard in a long time? ---

If you want a stretch that much, get a 10" + wide wheel and put a 225 on it. Not that I condone this but I’d rather see this done then a trailer tire on stock sized rims. ---

i think sidewayz is thinking of you here as a “safety” thing now no that he doesn`t liek it but you also have to be safe while out there the cops will kill you on those tires ---

I’m not even worried about the cops. A 145 or even 165 on anything more then a 4-7" wide rim is dangerous, will look like complete shit and with a 40 or 45 series you will NEED to have your car lying on the ground to not have 5 feet of wheel gap. Its just an all around stupid idea saftey, aestheticially and drivability wise. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tires-need-some-help/122888.md?page=2)
