my car's not lowered too much but people have given me comments on how my car stands.
Personally I dont like SLAMMED cars, but a nice race/aggressive stance really stands out to me. Like a nice wide ready to pounce look lol

There is no sidewall flex in corners so your car can even more so handle like it's on rails. When you push the car to the limit though, it's much harder to tell you hit that limit till you understeer or oversteer. That's what a lot of drifters have stretched tires is to prevent sidewall flex well weight transferring.

If running tire stretch the f*ck out like that was better the tire manufacturers would recommend wider wheels, and the race teams would run them like that. If it was something as simple as running too wide a wheel for our tire to gain any quantifiable performance enhancement dont you think we'd see stretched tires on more than just slammed to the weeds cars?

stretched tires work for drifting because you can go from grip to no grip easier. people do not use stretched tires on a road course. there is no point, if your road racing you want as much grip as you can. when you put stretched tires on a car you are reducing the contact patch. look at say a 18x10.5 with 215's on it. there is no contact patch. but you put some 275's on hte 10.5 and instant grip. stretched tires are more for looks than anything.

If the stretched tires being a drift thing was totally true there would be one car that surely had them:

Not a Sebring
Nothing wrong with tucking tire. Tire tucking is done by ALOT more than just by VW owners.
Now tire STRETCHING is a big VW trend. I mean VIP style cars and even some JDM themed cars have gotten into tire stretching, but it definitely is biggest among the VW'ers.
