Best Tires For Stretching

[Rolls]

Unless he has No suspension theres no way that could be drivable.

LOL

One turn of the wheel and the tyres will be pulled off by the guards.

[sh@un]

So onto the real reason for stretching your tyres if you are a drifter:

1. 99% of real drifters aren't sponsored, are poor and can barely afford to keep their cars on the road. Wide tyres are out of the question. Find tyres that your local tyre shop or service centre is throwing away (out the back, ask for em) and make them fit the wheel.

but, but- it costs more to buy the wide rims in the first place! they'd be better of just buying narrower rims and fitting the same tyres anyway if it was just a cost issue

Does this pass for a reason to have stretched tyres?

very impressive co-ordinating of wheel offset, ride-height and tyre stretch....but utterly ludicrous all the same

No doubt you need this to compliment your fully sic uleh bov sound.

anyone else wona show us some pics of their stretched bits and tell us what type an size of tire and width of rim they are using??

[R33silverS2]

here's a couple of examples of where a stretched tyre is practical:

From the US:

From Adelaide:

Here's an example of a "drift style" car with a 4wd ride height

remember kids, stretched tyre and gap between wheel and car or 4WD style ride height = punch in the c**t.

Do it properly or don't do it at all.

I'm sorry to all the 'haters' but that second pic looks bloody awesome. As others have mentioned and as you can see, the stretch can enable you to fit wider rims or rims with lower to negative offsets on your car without having to jack it up to 4wd height or flaring the gaurds. having the stretch for cosmetic reasons is the same reason people choose a certain style of rim (why 5 spoke of seven spoke or mesh style for example) no one can deny that have wide rims makes your car look so much tougher than wheels with massive positive offset sitting so far in the gaurd it looks like an old citroen.

Wow how does that second to last pic get anywhere without scraping the f**k out his rims/tyres.

No scrape whatsoever

Cusco Zero 2 R coilovers on middle damper settings...its all about knowing how to build the guards around the wheels

but then again im sure you are happy with your 17x7 +45's

Simple, It rides so hard the guy is now 3 foot tall from spine compression.

6" actually...but thanks for your concern

Didn't you know? Performance cars are about looks and wank lists rather than performance now.

why bother building drift cars these days that are super competitive? when someone with a $500,000 sponsorship package and no talent will wipe the floor with you...id rather rock my budget spec lookin cool than drop 30K into a car thats gonna be worth 10 in less than a year...youre forgetting ive got an evo for going fast...the soarer is just my "shit car"

and cheers R33silverS2

more pics for the haters:

oh yeah its rediculously low and runs about 4.5 deg of camber at the rear too...get out your pocket protectors and calculators and work out how f**ked that is too

nerds

Also btw in regards to the original poster...Bridgestones will often stretch the best as they have nice stiff sidewalls

the tyres on the pic of my soarer funky munkey posted are Bridgestone RE040A's (could be 050's)

Find me another rim for that price in that size that looks half decent.

youre missing my point

you as a purchaser of chinese crappy wheels that becuase they come in a half decent offset and width just like 10,000 other silvia owners have no right to voice any negative opinions at those who make the effort to purchase decent 3 peice wheels and make them fit their car...

I hope this has been edumacational

kthxbi

[humz]

coprims your mad! (in a good way)

haters have completely missed the point of my thread, i wanted to know how stretched you fellas are and what tires you think are best to achive this.

NOT why you are a loser if you stretch, but thanx anyway hahah you fags.

in my op, iv always been a huge fan of wide wheels (who hasnt) and not such a big fan of overly wide guards to fit them, what better way to achieve this???

my wheels are 18x9.5 super advans all round, 215/35 on rear, 235/40 up front. will change em all to 225/40 if i cant find 35 all around once they get shredded.

But they don't fit the car?

f**k me if I was gonna fork out $3k for rims I'd be sure as hell to get them in a width/offset that fits without needing stretched tyres/flared guards.

[coprims]

unless you have to AT A MINIMUM roll the guards on your car then your wheel fitment is not 100% right in my opinion

But thats because you are a fully sick drifter with ghetto stretched tyres, I want my car to handle properly and not chew out my guards, I also don't want to be defected.

[coprims]

you dont have to have stretch and massive camber for good fitment

put up a picture of your car so I can have a look...

also I dont know whats so hard for you to understand that my car does not scrub

front or rear dont scrub at all...on suspension compression ive got somewhere for the tyre + wheel to go in the guard...

it wouldnt be perfect if it didnt...

[adam-__-]

How are the cops with your fitment? Can't imagine what they'd say if they pulled you over, "I can't even put my little finger in between your wheels and guard!!" haha

[coprims]

dont drive in stupid places and you wont get pulled over...im not exactly keen on laps of town...

when I eventually get pulled over ill wear it on the chin and get it off defect...then do it all again
