check this out alienRX8
This 350z is running the stretch look. see how flush the wheels are with the fender? that car looks really agressive with the low offset and stretch look.
the s13 is running a stretch look and again see how flush it is? and no this s13 is not on bags it was featured in superstreet a couple of months back its on coilovers. and last pic is a Q45 with a stretch look.
All preference is what it is and these cars are not rice!!!

idk man to me it just looks like the guy didnt have enough $$ to buy the correct tire size.
I get that its so you can fit the wheel in but then why would you lower your car like that. I dont get that kind of modding. To me its all about performance and nice looks, not extreme looks. But to each their own.
And thanks for the explanation, I had no idea people did that. I guess here in Puerto Rico you dont see that too often because I have never seen it hehe.

My friend owed me some money and gave the jline's that were brand new along with the new tires as payment. I think he was going to put them on a s14. Why the hell would anyone put smaller tires if they had a choice. It came with brand new rims and tires.
Who else has these rims on the forum?

i never really heard of anyone that died due to stretched tires, everytime you race you take a risk, so i dont see how stretching your tire is unsafe. mine are stretched and i dont have a prob with air pressure going down, im sure if you ask Dom he will say the samething.

i got my wheels with the tires already on them so i had no choice but to run them until they wear. the rears are 235/40/18 and it makes the tire look way stretched but whatever, i saved money by buying the set with tires already loaded. for the time being, ill keep my tires stretched until i have to replace them with wider tires

its to be able to run a lower offset and to be able to get more clearance with the tires when its lowered. The only downfall is the ability to run a fatter tire. i would say its more for looks. Check out the VIP cars how there wheels are just flush with the body. check this out.....this pic of the wheel is a lill too stretched but it clears the fender and it tucks!! its all preference so what if people stretch there wheels let them be.

It all comes down to preference!!! This whole stretch look is a big debate even on the rx7club.com site. Its been around for years and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Its not a big deal. All i wanted to do is give geetleaf his props on his wheels and explain why people stretch the tires. Oh well its a forum and just the internet!!
