That's weak. Put a 215 on a 12" wheel... all the cool kids are doing it.

PM Chris4130, he stretches every tire he puts on a car, so I'm sure he knows how to do it or someone that does.

Have you asked a shop to do it yet? It's not that much of a stretch. It doesn't really take any trickery to do. If you have and they said no then i dunno haha

Less side wall flex....and it makes your 2000 dollar wheels even easier to curb.

I know that some people do it so you can go really freaking low without messing up your tire by rubbing it all the time. Like the have extreme offsets and sit out further then flush which is called poke and then they stretch the tire so it dosent rub on the fender lip. Just what ive heard.

Most of the time it is done so a tire doesn't interfere with the fenders.
