Bob3 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 close ups of wheelwell and tire stretch as requested sorry for the pics that make you kink ur neck :geek: front still needs more spacing, will work on that later also me comming from the vip scene and owning 2 s14s the extreme tire stretch/fitment is nothing new to me, the car is mainly going to be focused for show, thanks for the love I saw a blue 510 coupe at SEMA with tires and wheels like this, only not as bad as this one. I don't want to be a dick here, but this is RIDICULOUS! These are unsafe at any speed. I have been a race car driver for 30 years and I LOVE Japanese performance cars. I am not a big fan of the drifting scene, but I check it out to see what the kids are into now-a-days. I have to draw the line here. These extra wide wheels with super skinny tires are bullshit! You couldn't drive around a corner at any speed safely and I think this looks STUPID. If you want to "tuck" your wheels and tires it takes some work, not stupid looking ridiculous and UNSAFE wheels and tires. I'll be glad when this FAD has run its course, just like "spinners"! :sick: 3 Quote Link to comment

I'm not saying anything negative about his car, I like it. I'm just saying that this stretch tire thing is UNSAFE! It isn't cool. It won't turn worth a shit. The tire is not designed to be run that way. Your tire will pull off the rim easily. You will damage your wheels. You will most likely crash your car! There - I've spoken my piece on that. What ever you do, please stay safe! ;) Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Let's calm down guys... Stretched tires has been beat to death in every thread. If he wants to run it, let him. Nothing new can be said on the subject. Let's see more pictures of peoples cars in here. 2 Quote Link to comment
