At the end of the day...its a cosmetic mod that has nothing to do w/ performance. I personally think it looks cool but I would never run a aggressive stretch like some of these cars posted...for no other reason other than I need as much traction as possible and would gladly take a 295/30/19 setup over these any day.

if i remember correctly, you have the dunlop sp9000? if so, those are notorious for being bery narrow for the stated sizing. i had a frind that had 275/35/19 and it was mighty stretched even on a 10" rim, he got s-03 and they were much wider and revealed no stretch whatsoever. just fyi

also, if you decide to go big and get meaty 285 and start to rub, send me a pm

dunlop direzza's, 275/30 or 35, i don't remember, on 10.5" in the back. 19s.

and yeah i just realized you're the fender rolling guy. i subbed to your thread just i can constantly be reminded that i need to save up for new tires and get the right sizes and PM you

ideally i'd love 295's because fat wheels/tires in the back just turn me on but i'm not sure if it'd work.. or be a smart idea at all. blah.

i had 2 guys with +17 and +24 with 295's work, but it was a very aggressive roll to get them to fit with their camber settings. im sure with about -2.0ish 295's woud fit nicely. just not too many tires out there, and 295=$$$

Are these setups safe for track time? Wouldn't the tire tend to bow out of the way in a hard corner and you end up running rim to the ground?

I have the standard 245 and 275s on 9.5/10.5, but I want to go to 255 and 285 with my next of tires. I'm not sure if I'm going to have to roll the rears with +22 offsets.

definitely not safe for track time.

Well, the kind of stretch I run is definitely not safe for track time.

A lot of ppl think they are stretched but they really aren't.
