Default stretched tires while boosted

this is a noob question and i have never owned a car with forced induction, but i was wondering how does boost and aggressive wheels with stretched tires coincide?
how do the baller offsets and stretched tires effect the performance of a turbo 350z or any turbo car?

i noticed most of the cars in the aggressive wheels and stretched tire thread cars don't have any form of forced induction.. well at least to my knowledge

stretch = more show than go. if you are boosting get some real meat.

If your gonna be boosted you would want as much of a contact patch back there as u can fit. As ^ said stretched is more for show than anything else its counter productive to almost double the whp of the vehicle and in all reality make a tire that should be on a 8.5
stretch to fit a 10.5 rim. Depending on offset 305 would be a good choice.Why spend thousands of $'s under your hood then turn it into useless hp with a stretched rim/tire combo.

You need stretched tires to compete in dyno racing.
