Consolidated Tire Stretch Thread! - Page 4

Trigga - it depends on both really. if you go less sidewall the stretch will be a little more obvious for the same width, but then some people go less width and more/smae sidewall to prevent having too little sidewall between the rim/rim edge and the road. But generally it looks more stretched with less sidewall as there is simply less sidewall there to pull.

kuni808 - i had 225/40 on my 18x9s unfortunately i dont think i have a clear pic. it does give a little stretch, but again depends on tyre used as to how wide they run.

pic here of 225/40 Neuton (random tyre but stretch okay and has a lip protector!) best pic i have, you can just see the small stretch present..

Thanks ant_s13sil. Nice S13 by the way. Is your 18s 9.5 or 9? in your sig it says 9.5? would 225/35 strech more so i get more clearence? hmm. this clearence thing is a learning experience. haha. maybe i should fit the wheel back on and jack up the suspension so i know exactly how much i have to strech.

Does anyone have pictures of Nitto Neo Gen's stretched? how do they hold up to the VIP world of wheels. If not I know the FK452s are tailored to stretching. But they cost a grip.

^ Do you have any pics on your car with these? I'm having my wheels rebuilt to a -neg. offset and I'm currently running 285/25's in the rear but after seeing this I might change for more clearance to go lower.

Thanks,

EDIT - I was gonna say that offsets don't matter when it comes to tire size/streching, only wheel size and width. But then I figured you knew that and was curious jus for fittment...

They have weak sidewalls

This is kind of old but I just had to make a correction. This type of blowout is caused by runflat damage not because of the toyo stretch. When you run on a tire with low air pressure you create a nice looking heat ring like the one taken in this picture which causes your sidewall to fall apart from the inside until it eventually separates from the bead like it did in this picture.
