Or maybe I am just missing the entire point in stretching the tire. If I am feel free to correct me.
stretching the tire allows me to clear my fenders while running the widest possible tire my car will allow, i cant run a 295 on a 20X10 because it will rub, not because it wont fit on the rim, i would need a 275 stretched, the stretch allows the for sidewall of the tire to not be perpendicular to the fender well, the same as negative camber. like i said its not for the look in this application it serves a purpose. I hope this clears up and confusion
