do you just come into all these stance threads to bitch?

 

No. I like cars that are done right such as Dom's car, USMD8's car and LS1FBODY's car. "Done right" is a matter of opinion. Am I allowed to have opinions, or should I just be a nutswinger like a lot of people on this site? I draw the line at 215's on 9.5" wheels and more than 5* of camber.

Don't jump all over me because I'm not a lemming.

 

... I like MikeyB's car too!

 

this, those 215's on the 9.5 does look pretty bad to me

 

brick not shat yet

 

Normally I remove the pic but going to leave it this time.


But maybe im too much of a performance guy to ever understand the stretched tire look.
Theres absolutely no performance gain of any sort doing this. Everythings decreased...
Im all for visual mods... but not when they take away from the performance of the car

 

agree. herraflush = herragay... just my opinion tho! no bashing.

 

I love the Idea of Hellaflush, and its grown on me alot in the fast few months, i used to hate it. Not a fan of Tire stretch tho, esp. that much.

But its your ride, and it better than the cookie cutter mods everyone else does.

 

People don't just stretch tires that far for the look. They do it because sometimes it's the only way to get the wheels to fit the car. I can completely understand people not liking this look, but when it is done with the right car/wheels/tires the results are amazing. But like everything, there are guys that take it tooooo far and that gives everyone a bad rep.

 

dragsters do reverse stretch. they slap on those 15in wide slicks or bridgestones on a 7inch wide wheel.....

 

^ i get that too. Im running a 225/45 on a factory 17x7 IRL wheel. and a 275/60 on a 15X8 on my Nova.

That looks dangerous.. I,m taking bets that if this were on a circle track car it would hit the wall...

 

[QUOTE=reddevil;5777583]When was the last time you saw a Stanced car with stretched tires on a circle track???

.....and who in the hell actually races on a circle track anyways?

 

[QUOTE=BooSSted;5777674]

 

haha hillybillys and rednecks thats who and ive seen alot of cavaliers as dirt track cars and a few cobalts too lol

 

subd

 

Meh seen 18 X 9.5 with 245/40/18 tires. Do 265/35/18s on them and I will be impressed.

 

Just read through all 7 pages and no pics wtf's going on here. Dom atleast PM what wheels you got if they arent the same style varrstoen's.

 

you are an idiot.
i am slamming my car. of course you saw the 245s. read through the thread.
john powell is running that set up but he isnt slammed.

 

Same wheel, different size, different color....

 

sorry for lack of pictures!
Wheels should be shipping out today or monday as well as my tires.

 

your doing everything you car to destroy the performance and drivability of your car cause you wanna look pretty......in a cobalt. Ya, term is a dumb ass

 

Those are specialized tires designed for that purpose as well as the sidewall flex helps with launch of the vehicle. Pulling the tire in that much risks the bead popping off as well as far worse tire life. The tires people use for stance werent ever designed for it. While I think your old setup doesnt look bad to me I just cant justify all the cons of this setup. I will always be a performance before show guy. So not knocking your style.

 

meh
if i wanted performance i would've gotten a corvette.
