Stretched tires arent done for look, well some people do it for look, i do it because i like to use the widest rim i possibly can with the suspension settings on my car, im running some s. like i said im dropped even lower now, u can probably see maybe 1/2 of my tire. I can fit my car key between my tire and fender, thats how close they are, hence why they are rolled and will need to be pulled when i do a 305 tire. Stretch isnt for look in this application, its needed so i can maximize my rim/tire combo. my car is corner balanced and has just about every suspension piece available for it, rims and tires are my forte' =] if you slammed that thing u could put some 345's stretched on a 18x12 or 13 =]

This is where I disagree, there is no functional purpose to stretching a small tire onto a big wheel just like there is no functional purpose to squeezing a big ass tire on a small wheel. You're losing contact patch you otherwise would have.
Or maybe I am just missing the entire point in stretching the tire. If I am feel free to correct me.
