For those who think that you can't have stretched tires AND performance....

Nope, not one had exposed wheel lips like yours. I guess your lack of responses to my post means you acknowledge even serious VIP enthusiasts who do it right, like in that video (I guess), would laugh at your choice of tire fitment.

I bet blowing the doors off that actor playing a nimrod in his stock VW really got your blood boiling though.

 
Yep, it's really spread from the standard platform to a variety of cars. There's a 300C that looks so nice. Hands down the best 300C I've ever seen.

Guess you don't need to use your side mirrors........yup it will look real kool driving down the street with the mirrors turned sideways......just like in India //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so, changing lanes while doing 60 is performance? Sorry if I missed something spectacular, I got bored after 4 minutes.. I see this happen on the freeways daily. You should see the mind blowing performance we have going on around here!!!!

Que in the over dramatic music

 
Came across this video..quality not the greatest but here's a good example of how crazy these guys are....not sure if they're on bags or coilovers, but they're not using their bags if they have em...they may have cup kits, but even then, you can tell they're not using it.

dang i wish i had to drive like a granny to get anywhere in my vip style shadow

 
You do understand the theory behind stretching tires, right? I mean the real reason, not for a look or to get tires to fit, but the reason why people stretch tires. Please, explain to me why you think they do it.
This again? I thought we went over this already.

The purpose of stretching a tire is to get a wider wheel and/or lower offset wheel on a vehicle while still keeping the tire within the fender.

And all this talk about stretched tires, how it's unsafe and it will pop, show me how many cases that has happened, then tell me the amount of people that do it.

Just to let you know, it requires a lot of force to get the tire onto the wheel. The force for it to actually pop is much less.

Ugh, you really take things beyond what they are. My point was that you can have stretched tires and performance. Who said anything about stretching it as much as me? I guess you really lack knowledge or you're trolling, which is it?

The car is parked you idiot. You do know that some cars, like the higher class benzes do that automatically right? Noob.

Yeah, because it's really safe to be driving 100+ on a road right? Are you too stupid to realize they have boosted and built motors...do you think it's just for looks? :facepalm:

Also, a tire popping a bead is due to sidewall flex, not internal pressure. That's why you choose the proper tire and there are specific tires to go with when stretching. Some have thinner sidewalls than others...some are double backed.

Now that you have been schooled, why don't you take time to study the material presented and keep it in mind so I don't need to discuss this for the 3rd time.

WRONG! It is a performance thing. Stretching a tire makes it feel like it has a stiffer sidewall, and can make the tire perform better than it was originally designed to. But this also makes the tire somewhat unstable and unsafe. It was never intended to be used to make inapproptiate tires fit, weekend racers do it to cheap out and save some money. And I guess now ricers do it to make ugly wheel/tire combos to fit. With the sidewall stretched out, it allows less flex, but also adds an enormous amount of stress on the sidewalls and can cause them to fail. Also, you have to run higher tire pressure to keep the beads seated, which makes it easy to pop a bead and have a blowout.

And all this talk about stretched tires, how it's unsafe and it will pop, show me how many cases that has happened, then tell me the amount of people that do it.
It happens quite often, I guess you didnt do your research before you decided to do your modifications... Typical ricer.

Yes, it does take a lot of force, and when you apply the tire in a manner in which it was not intended to work, that makes it easier for a failure.

The irony here is that you dont know the first thing about stretched tires other than what it looks like. Who has the lack of knowledge? You are the one that thinks camber and tire stretching is nothing more than an aestheitic thing with no bearing on performance...

Also, a tire popping a bead is due to sidewall flex, not internal pressure. That's why you choose the proper tire and there are specific tires to go with when stretching. Some have thinner sidewalls than others...some are double backed.
Actually, internal pressure has A LOT to do with popping a bead on a stretched tire...

Who has been schooled? Do some research before you go spouting off about shit that you clearly know nothing about kid. Go read a book, learn about things before you do them. You are the epitomy of a ricer, you do tons of crap to screw up a perfectly good car, and then you prove that you know literally nothing about what you just did, and that you didnt look at any of the negative effects that it might have. Read up on stretching tires, see how safe that is... Maybe you will learn something about why people stretch, and not just why little ricers retards do it to get this ugly *** look.

I almost thought 2 stickers on an LS was a joke being called rice. But this is a whole another level of being a joke LOL!!! He pulled in his mirrors for a reason, because he doesn't want anyone hitting it while the car is park. Even I pull in my mirrors everytime i park.

I guess that's about as close as you will allow yourself to come to admitting your tire fitment is dangerous, and hinders performance simply for aesthetics. And aesthetics that most people, apparently, look bad anyway.

You haven't schooled anyone //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif You've just proven that you act like you know what you're talking about and limit your brain to information to a certain extent.

Please show me a "rulebook" or whatever that states why your reason IS the reason for stretching tires. Do you know where it originated from? Please explain....since you think you have the answers, enlighten us. People do it for different reasons so why is YOURS the right one? Because you said so? If people are doing it for aesthetics and wheel fitment, why does the performance even matter?

And when I ask you to show me some proof, what's your response? That I didn't search enough? I'll admit, I didn't search, but I go off people's experiences and not 1 person I know that runs stretched tires has had ANY problems...so now, prove me wrong and show me how many cases there have been where people have gotten in accidents or had a tire blown due to a stretched tire as opposed to how many people do it, because right now your claims are just like loading a gun with blanks, you're shooting but they don't do anything.

And if the reason behind it is performance, then why are you b*tching about it stretched tires?

And your statement to people cheaping out is quite funny, you do realize that some of the tires are quite expensive right? You do know that a good set of tires to be stretch can easily cost 1k right? So explain to me the cheaping out part. Seems like you lack ACTUAL knowledge. You sound like a robocop to me...you just regurgitate stuff you read...Has it ever occurred to you that what you read and what actually happens from experience can be different? Apparently not because you claim to know everything about stretched tires.
