Exactly right. If a car goes to corner and the tires fall off, that doesn't really look good, but if it takes a corner like a mini cooper, then that looks sick.
I don't mean to flame, but I just don't see the value of this.

why does everyone keep saying its a german thing... the japanese have been doing this for way way longer... why does anyone do anything to their car, because they want too, its not your car so what do you care? it doesn't make you look bad your not driving the car... i bet if everyone had stretched tires you'd want regular ones just to make a statement...

this makes no since... your following a trend by running your tires the way EVERYONE does... so he wants to stretch his to be different from the rest of you... let him do what he wants...

once again opinions are like ******** everyone has one.

I run my 225 wide tires on a 7.5" wheel because that's what they were DESIGNED for and it has nothing to do with looks really (for me). I don't really care, because it's not my car, but running stretched tires is definitely a "run at your own risk" type of procedure.

if its so dangerous, why would a drift car do this, and they are definatelly pushing the limits on their turning and you don't really see issues with it? u see more issues were the body kit rips the tire off because they wreck, than you do seeing a tire come off the wheel.

ok guys have fun with this one

Dumb idea

ff_drift_lol

I gotta either find wheels for this bolt pattern which is nearly impossible or adapters. this is gonna suck

BigTizzle903

you guys need to chill out. i personally never liked the look but it is starting to grow on me.

also it is not only a vdub thing, it is huge on any european car and now that i read more of this it is becoming popular with japanese cars too. alot of my friends own euros and im big into euros (in fact a euro is my next car) and i know plenty of people who have done this and there is nothing unsafe about them. only problem is curb rash but if your careful then theres nothing to worry about. If you can't find any good sites about them register on vwvortex.com and post a thread asking and theyll be plenty of people to help you out (the way this site used to help people out) good luck man

roccosassistantVW

thank you

barely stretched lol rears look big time tho

you guys just keep up with your racing stripes, stock ride heights, parts stickers, tint, window deflectors, and wheels that show off your stock brakes.

Like I mentioned before...a track car (ok) is one thing, but street driven (not ok) is another.

If someone was ever in an accident with their tires "stretched"...Good luck in trying to convince an insurance company or law enforcement that it is a "perfectly safe" practice...

ff_drift_lol

insurance appraisers aren't going to know what a stretched tire is numb nuts stop worrying about what'll happen to bad drivers. Most of these trends came about in the late 70's early 80's when the bosozoku bike gangs were around in japan. they used to do crazy **** to their bikes annoy people in traffic and try to cause accidents. then they started modding cars. stretched tires, fender flares, exposed oil coolers, huuuuge camber, no suspension, tiny steering wheel and wide 13" work wheels. it's comparable to rat rodding in the US. here's a few good examples. I think these videos are really funny.

did anyone even read my post? look on page 2, post 28...

Im not much for stretched tire myself but when done right they can look so scweet!! haha Heres my buddy Milts SC400 stretched and pulled to hell. These are actually new tires.. 255's wrapped around 18x11.5" work equips in the rear. Before this setup he was running a 225 on the 11.5

BigTizzle903

yea.....your saying its safe and the reason people in germany do it is because of the law. there is no law here but that doesnt mean someone cant do it

lil_kano

yeah but im no against it. i was just pointing out to the ney sayers that what they are saying is wrong.

roccosassistantVW

that sc 400 is on point, nice car. those look like some sick Work wheels

BigTizzle903

oh alright. i understand now. i wasnt sure your particular point of view

ff_drift_lol

that soarer definitely looks sick. I wish he still had the 225's that probably looked ridic.

Bumpin Balt

This look is retarded! I call it the "I spent too much on my wheels and I can't afford a wide enough tire" look! lol

rocco11189

And your ebay wheels look better? What a joke

ff_drift_lol

hahahaha! exactly my point I know like 2 people with nice rims on their balt. I do things right so I wanna go all out and get some ridic rims. I can't find anything cool for my bolt pattern! Does anyone know where to get spacers/adapters?

roccosassistantVW

lol buying the proper size wouldnt be much more $ if your buying legit rims you dont care anyway......buying tires that are too small kuz your rims cost you too much is just such a rediculous claim




this dudes actually got the right idea. you could be a revolutionary to this scene if it comes through. some Work VS lines would look proper on a balt

ff_drift_lol

I was looking at those earlier. the gold will go very well with the apex gold n1 tip I have and the chevy bowties. work meisters will also look ridic with flat gold and a retarded lip if I can even find them anywhere. I'm jut worried about my bolt pattern something needs to be done with this 5x110 garbage
