post your streched tires!!!
yes i have a tC but i know of only a few tC's who are running some stretched tires...
i am getting a new set of wheels that are quite aggressive therefore would need to stretch some tires on to them...
i know you xB guys love stretched tires so if some of you can post some pics. i am looking to see how certain tire sizes stretch on certain wheel sizes.
i am looking for.
205/45/17 on a 8inch wide wheel
215/45/17 on a 9 inch wide wheel
as well as
215/45/17 on a 8inch wide wheel
225/45/17 on a 9 inch wide wheel
when posting please do not post side shots. i needs shots angled from the back showing the stretch.
also make sure to post brand and model of tires as different brands/ models stretch differently.

your right, but you are also talking about a wider tire.
a 215/45 on a 8" will not look very streached, now with a 9" wheel..................... thats a different story
let me dig up another pic of a different size

Old pic with 215/45/17 on 17x8... slight stretch.
Nowadays I would go with 205 on 8's AND 9's... if the tire was right. Best tires for stretch are Falken 512's (not 912's) and Toyo T1r's. Otherwise 215 on 9's.

i had 225/40/18 512's and they looked streched on my 18x8's
i now have 225/40/18 912's and the sidewalls are square on the exact same wheels.
i think the 512 have softer sidewalls and are a bit narrower.
