Re: Stretttttcchhhhh

I would just like to add, that that first tire that blew out. . . . was running really low airpressure. . . and in that case, pretty much anytire, stretched or not would have done the same thing.

I'm glad someone has a clue
Go run some 395/40/17s at 5psi...... the same thing will happen. Go spread your anti stretch propaganda somewhere else.

GINCH/Derek, sure thing man!

the car is slowly making its way back on the street and i cant hardly wait. seeing some nice cars on the street really gave motivation to pull the black gti out of storage and get it ready for some srping fun

I think those look hot. And I said there's perf benefits for doing it to a point.

But when the tire doesn't even reach the outer lip, that's where you've gone beyond stretching into "my tire doesn't fit at all".

Re: Stretttttcchhhhh

The Black GTI you posted above has more stretch than I have. Its just the type of tires that give it a different look.

Re: Stretttttcchhhhh

I too am not a fan of the stretched look. I just don't like how it looks like there is a gap between the lip and the tire. I think the last pics Geoff posted are moer to my liking as there is no major gap. Now a better question is where did that JTI get those nice arch covers.

Those textured flares are from Japan and are $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Mine is very minimal. 255/35 on a 9.5 (et30). Rubs like crazy when carrying anything in the trunk (ie: groceries), or just 1 passenger...but that's life



and from the side...tire is pulled back a bit as you can see.
