To me stretching tires is not a style, and I don't get people people who just do it to say they have done it, for me that was the only option !!
On my car I run 215s on 18x11 but for the same car I'm running 245s on my 12s sure I could go 235 or even 225 to get the same look as my 215s but there is no need for it since the wheels have higher offset !!

Tire stretching is what they used to do on mini trucks in the early 80's w/curb feelers sticking out the sides...and also on cars like mustang 5.0's. Always looked a bit ghetto lame to me. 50 series stretched on gold daytons....Whatever floats your boat I guess.

tire stretching is done so poorly 99% of the time.
It seems to be people choosing to not spend a mere $50+ per tire that are doing it.
To me it says "I got $1000 worth of rims, but ride on $30 tires from walmart." Around here you see lots of these 10+ year old cadillacs are driving on stretched 13"s from walmart.
