I'm sorry if you can't tell how stretched it is on the pic something is wrong. I'm not trying to be mean but you might want to go for you annual eye check up

I don't let it get to me but what i think is funny is that gilbert (dominion) is running the SAME set up as me. 225 stretched on a 9.5 inch rim. he has the same amount of posts on his rims but NONE of them say anything about safety on his stretched rims. i think this is just an age issue with some of the members.

people on here say that i need to do the research, i did the research...no one has had problems with their stretched tires...if you find a thread on this forum over the past 5 years where someone crashed or whatnot because of their stretched tires, then i will recognize your credibility in what you say. but until that happens...i will stand by what i think.
no comment, besides the "no comment" and besides the "no comment, besides the" besides the "no comment, besides the "no comment" and besides the "no comment, besides the no comment." ah, you get the point.

Great wheels, and wonderfully stretched tires

lol at stretched tires comments, Ivory's tires aren't even close to stretched, they look about perfect to me, if you want to find the true meaning of stretched go check out zilvia.net and do a search, you'll find plenty of real examples there. (from all the dorifto peoples)

It has a pretty good stretch IMO its just hard to see with the black rim. But if you were to compare it to s13 or s14 owners on zilvia.net this stretch isn't ****!! A good buddy of mines who drove an s14 got me into the stretch tire look a couple of years an its crazy what kind of offsets and tires they are stretching. My buddy was running 5zigen wheels 17x10 with a 12 offset stretching a 235/40 in the rear and 17x9 i forgot what offset but it was low also. Not to mention my buddy is into drifting. Definitely good point canary!! This is going to a be an ongoing debate on whether it is safe or unsafe. So we matters well end it here. I agree with Jordan until i hear about someone getting into a bad accident and the leading cause was their stretch tires i'm gonna go with my own experience and my friends who have stretched their tires. F**k it just let Jordan do his own thing he's not as dumb and naive as many of you guys think he is. Have you guys every met person personally and have spoke to him other than on the forum. He's a smart person.

"Yes, I'll take the deep dish with a slab of rubber please." There's a reason why tires are made with wheel lip protection.
