what tires to use to strech on AP's 4 14s

[80datson]

Wondering what size tires I can use to achieve the stretched look on some enkie Apaches 14s

.... WIDTH?..... 195 50s stretch on a 7" wheel pretty good, if you can hit it with alot of psi real quick. Looks realy dumb tho, they look ok on a 6"er

and 175's will fit too. It depends on how thick the sidewall is. I have seen a 175 that looked less stretched than a 195.

But this is what you want.

Holy shat they say that you can go with a 135 30 on my 8" wheels , it was hard for me to putt 195 50 on em at home, I ratchet strapped it and putt alot of air thru the bead before they hooked, it was ruff. I love the look of the 215 50 on 13x8s

You are doing it wrong. You need sudden explosion, kinda like how the 4x4ers remount their tires. Shops seems to use an old propane tank with a release valve. Fill it to about 90psi and let her rip into the gap of the tire and rim. For the DIYer though...

14x7 +5 rear ......... 205/60/14

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same 14x7 +5 ...... . . 195/45/14 Toyo T1R ..... . . something in-between the 2 tires would look best IMO .. . these toyo's look stupid small on the back:

Indy the 205s balloon too much to me. The 195's need more sidewall probably a 50 series would be good.

[DISLEXICDIME]

i dont think any one makes a 50 series 14 any more at least they didnt last time i checked and that was 4 years a go

[Laecaon]

well that is another problem...

 

My car is running 185/60/14 on zx 6 spokes. A 55 would look better, but its no balloon.

 

Looks like this:

I love the look of these 185/55/14 Federal tires: ... . . on 14x7 +0 Volks and 280zx struts

 

[Laecaon]

That is perfect!!!

[INDY510]

.

too bad his tires can't do this .. . . . :lol:

 

[Laecaon]

But he has zx struts which equals less overall offset and a narrower tire...

I tried 3 somewhat common sizes, at least I thought, nothing.

 

Cool idea though.

That site needs to be organized.

they don't do normal. They do stretch. And it is organized by wheel width then tire width tire profile rim diameter. They also only add what people send in I believe.

This is a 165/55/14 on a 7in wheel.

Shops seems to use an old propane tank with a release valve.

I'm pretty sure modifing a old propane tank would violate more OSHA laws than I count

[RedBanner]

if I see any dattos with a strech like those, im posting em in the ricer thread. Too much.

I did say "seem" to use... what I saw in the videos was a white tank and a ball valve and a leaf blower hose at the end.

 

But ok it is a real device.
