They are, but thats how it looks when you look at them in that angle, the point of that picture was how much the wheels sticking out not how stretch the tires are , here a picure of them in different angle, the middle wheels are the ones in the top picture and don't forget they are only 35 series tires on 18 wheels !!!

Incredible! Let me take a wild guess. From the looks of it.
18X11"
Offset= ~0 or negative
225/35-18 tire
Pic shows 9 degrees of camber on your xB with the Noblesse rear bumper with the license plate hole and exhaust hole Filled and painted?!
How close am i?

people just hate on these forums. but what can you do. i hate ignorant people, but all the peeps on sl that are down more then make up for it. in a few years they will be the very ones running hipari tires and talkin mad $h!t about how dope it is and how they got sick style. if you don't like , fine, just don't be a hater on something you don't understand.
btw, i read that stretching tires came from euro cars running wide rims. they had to stretch the tires because the laws in germany require that no part of the tread sticks out past the fenders. they got away with running wide rims legally and spawned a different trend as a side effect.

I like the look if its subtle, but is there a lot of maintenance involved?
I'm curious to know if anyone running a stretched setup has had blowouts, tires falling off, etc.

I know why MyBox never posts his car cause of dumb@$$s that only know the regular ricer Motegi from Pep boys tires and rims. They have no idea about things outside of thier realm. Also Just because its not 20" doesnt make it ugly. Sorry we all dont have hydros and daytons...man ScionLife is starting to suck.

Dude, streching tires goes back to the boulavard days on El camino in norcal! Stretching the tires on the old wire wheel Tru Spokes for the impala's and monte carlo's! Was it really japan that came out with the stretching? Or was it the old school peeps from Cali? :D
Taking it back!!

True Spokes with the Knock offs

This topic is such B.......S!!!![/b]

The stretch on mybox's car is sexy, don't know what your talking about whoever said it was ugly, and a lot of times, you ahve to do that to make larger wheels fit, i'm running 17x8.5" in the front with a 16 offset and 17x9" in the rear with a 17 offset and running 215/40/17 tires, mildly stretched, tanabe drop, running the onetongarage rear 3 degree camber shims, but if i was running any larger tires, I would rub like crazy on them, and i'm sure mybox has the same situation, much props though for having the ***** to stretch that ;-)

And when a few of us started running camber, alot of people said we were crazy and were going to be buying rear tires like crazy! But I had front camber dialed into both of my 1976 Celicas in 1983!
And funny how some of those who were criticizng are now some of the ones who say camber is the greatest thing since sliced bread!
But of coure I can't post any proof cuz the site has been cleaned up of older posts.
