Being that Ian owns wheels with stretched tires and the fact that he is an active member of the stretched community I'd say he does know exactly what he's talking about. How does being a fat tire nut hugger make you an expert on stretching tires? You obviously know nothing about our "fad," so if all you're going to add to the thread is useless waste of bandwidth like the one I quoted above please just go away.
(Oh yea, he also drifts)
The fact that every thread with a tire question turns into a fat tire bash fest on anything under 325 is stoooopid.
Why can't the fat tire community control their members and keep them from looking like ignorant haters by repeating "fad" "ghay" "no purpose".... every time they see the word "tire."

A 245 doesn't fit, looks horrible, is unsafe, and isn't functional. Your "fad" is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. A little bit of a strecth isn't bad, but a 245 on a 10.5 inch wheel is just retarded.
Aren't you running 265's on a 10 inch wheel? I guess you are the real expert
.
explain...

Like I said, I have a 255 on a 10.5" and I think it looks perfect. What I think looks stupid is guys running week offsets with huge fender gap, huge tires and no performance mods to speak of.
and I'm sorry I called you a nut hugger, I got a little excited.
Look at how many fat tire guys rebut stretched tires by replying "You're stupid," "looks ghey," "just a fad," "you don't know what you're talking about..." but have no actual knowledge to back it up. All they do is repeat arguments by guys who actually know what their talking about and add nothing themselves.

Point is type of tire plus size maybe you can justify that statement. Otherwise IMHO dissing another shop's work w/o even knowing the tire is kind of harsh.
Most tires should fit out 2" (8.5 vs. 10.5) but man is that 35 going to be very low effective profile when done, I hope it's for TT or time attack and not street use. Not much left to protect the rim...

Stretch vs. Meaty tire debate= fail
This will never be solved. People like stretched tires, people like meaty tires. Its all in the eye of the beholder. Im no expert on tires so I dont have any input on safety issues, but if people want to stretch so be it.
I personally dont mind a slight stretch, however I like a more "proper" fit tire. Not too stretched, not too fat

A 245 does fit on a 10.5" rim. It looks bad in you opinion, it looks awesome when properly executed in mine. Unsafe, sure, it does increase the chances of blowing out a sidewall on potholes etc. Stretched tires are just as functional for drifters as fat tires are to you guys who are putting down mad hp numbers on the track.
Like I said, I have a 255 on a 10.5" and I think it looks perfect. What I think looks stupid is guys running week offsets with huge fender gap, huge tires and no performance mods to speak of.

you cant seriously own a sports coupe and expect to get any sort of reasonable performance from your car with this sort of setup. you dont have to stretch your tires to get a nice aggressive look. here's the a great example.
this is what our cars were meant to look like. none this crab walking, no grip getting, rubber band tires bs. Final Forces stance is flush, aggressive, tucked and still puts down 275's in the rear. he actually wants 285's now. his stance has sports coupe written all over it. your "fad" has girls playing barbie dress up written all over it.

Damn
if its not your car dont worry about it! OP asked a question and the answer is YES a 245/35 can work no problem if done by the right shop. You like "proper sized tires" then go ahead and drool over them, we like "stretched tires" and we'll stick with em. If you like oversized tires then go right ahead lol. simple concept, we dont need people lecturing us on what to do...unless your paying for our cars

good, then tell your fellow tire stretchers not to use that as a reason to justify this this sort of thing because they use this "card" every time.
