Rob_Quads Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 How do they handle - no idea. How do they look - IMO silly. Even on dubs I don't like the look. Seen too many cars spoiled by stretched rims IMO..oh and the fact its often ends up with an illegal setup as the rim sits outside the bodywork.

docwra Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I know i'm probably being a bit dumb but i just dont get it..........why/what/how etc???? Why: Dynamically, a stretched tyre will suffer less roll under abuse. It also is a lot cheaper on tyres (a 225 for a 10J is a lot cheaper than a 275, for instance), and gives you some movement on wheel fitment As I have said, Im not sure a 350Z lends itself particularly, but some other cars neeeed stretch.

The tyre is the defining part of the legality, not the rim. So long as the tread of the tyre is covered by the arch the setup is completely legal. Otherwise half the people I know who've got through an MOT or been pulled over recently would have been buggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
