anyone have any success stretching a tire on 19x9 +25 front and 19x10 +15 rear. widest and lowest offsets I could get for the particular wheel I have on order. Advan RS-D matte black in case anyone asks.
was thinking 225 f and 255 r but looking at some of these rides I might just end up with something close to proper fitment with those specs.
want to get a stretched look - not too insane but stretch nonetheless.
been through this thread more than a few times and dont recall anyone matching the wheel size.
anyone know or have pics that can give me an idea?

these guys do their thing - and they do it well. no disrespect, but people that don't like it can rest on the bench.
just won't be ballin'

 

for me personally i have a friend that manages a tire shop and wouldn't think off putting him out of a job in the case if anything did occur ,which i believe is the case with many others. also any tire can fail! ,stretched or not.

 

..patiently waiting on witty response of how the pythagorean theorem in the centripetal force affects pi in motion which results in going 88mph to travel back in time on proper sized wheels.

 

Haha... OK. Everyone are friends until money is involved. You cannot deny the liability that is involved with this trend. Also the safety of others around if you something goes wrong. Negligence is a catch all tort. What would the reasonable person do, stretch the tire or put the proper tire size matched with the wheel? I am just saying...


So you are saying stretched tires are JUST as likely to fail as the recommended size tires? There are way too many variables once you stretch the tire. I don't think that most people who are into this trend don't know all the variables, hence the ignorance to a degree. My 11 inch wheels sit flush on the fender without spacers and no stretched tire (305/25/20). It can be done with proper offsets and nice tires, but that costs money, something that many don't wanna do or can't do. At the end, while the tires are cheaper when stretched, it might just cost you more money in the end, like anything else in life.

 

Most coilover companies state "For Offroad Use Only".
Does this mean I should only run mild street springs on my car?

Point is: you sacifice something with every mod you make.

I'm sure most of these guys in here are MORE on top of their tire-pressure, and wear than the average commuter out there, pushing their 4-ton SUV while clueless and unaware of the last time they checked their PSI. God help us all when they blow...and that's something I see all the time.

 

why are we argueing the point of an aggressive setup/stretched tire 350z in an aggressive wheels and stretched tires thread?

thats like me posting in turbo section saying superchargers are better and heres why...

you've expressed your opinion and obviously it wont be treated lightly seeing how you are bashing the style that the thread is based upon..

you dont like gay guys...dont go into a gay bar/club...

you dont like/agree with aggressive/stretched tires then dont post in the aggressive/stretched tire thread...

pretty easy concept here...your an engineer so you should be able to figure it out.

 

"So you are saying stretched tires are JUST as likely to fail as the recommended size tires?" i'm not saying that, i was just saying all tires fail, i've seen where non-stretched tires have had side walls rip apart. your setups tight, but i rock the stretch and have no worries.

 

"Engineers"? What, you don't believe they're real or have the background to base their logic? Who would know better? Do you and your followers follow the recommended tire pressures from either Nissan or what's stamped on the tire's sidewall? Logic would say no, as there seemingly isn't more risk to running at 100psi, is there?

Regardless, link me to some of these pro drivers so one can see what they've chosen for their competitions so we can compare it to what you all use for your daily driving. I'm sure those cars aren't caged and the tires aren't one-time use or anything. I do understand that some, likely less than 5%, of you stretched-tire supporters do have safety equipment. The rest are rolling the dice and hoping not to crap out.

Why bother following tire pressure recommendations if one has ignored wheel size recommendations? Try 10psi, maybe 100psi - no?

 

royal has a cage for his stretched tires

 

I wonder if it's like this in the Force Induction forum.

Every couple of weeks someone comes in and goes:

"Uuuummm...I don't think Nissan engineered the VQ motor to have a turbo....careful or it will blow!"

Oh really?!?!

 

+1
create a proper fitment thread
if there is already one - create another one

 

^ back to the matter at hand

 

get this thread back on track.

car looks real good evil.

looking forward to whats next royal

 

Noted.

Sorry, soldier, but I do take pride in what I do, like keeping you safe. Next project I'll be pretty sure that the tank has enough armor to survive an IED instead of having absolute confidence.

I know. Royal_T = smart with that decision.

 

ive always ran streched tires and seen plenty people d/d and drift one them and never seen or herd of one giving out because of the fact that its stretched

show me some real stories of poeple f'ing up there cars due ot stretched tires

its a style that we like, and if you dont GTFO

 

tenga cuidado noob...

Nice logic, because you haven't heard of it ever happening or it has never been documented it has never happened.

 

You sure do ask noob questions for an experience stretched tire expert

nice they look sick. we share the same sense in style. ur on hellaflush by the way if you didn't already know.


get this thread back on track....

 

This is getting pretty lame - you dont see me trollin the NA build threads and tellin everybody to go FI.... And for the mods posting in here doin the same lame a$$ **** putting threads down when people are basically just sharing their ideas.... = way outta hand. - this is the kind of mindless banter that is the sole reason why this forum has taken a dump... You're supposed to be supporting the forum and enforcing policy not throwin in you 2 pennies and raising drama/// Anyways - back on topic - lets check out some more flush setups....

 

tires are going to give out regardless stretch or not. I have a nitto 555 275/35 on my 10.5 and those gave out before my general exclaim uhp 255/35 on my 11. The only thing about stretching tires is that you wont have any sidewall to protect your wheels incase of a flat to where you have some kind of sidewall to ride on on standard fitting tires. Its all on what you desire, a preference thats all. We stretch tires, and you add boost. Is it recommended? No, of course not but people do it anyways. People are going to do what they like so its pointless to even try, so just save your breath. i like wide beefy tires but stretch tires are what works for me to poke and tuck my wheels. Lets just leave it at that and let the world turns.
