Oh Emm Gee That is one heck of a stretch you've got going on there. I'd be too scared to try and pull off a stretch like that. lol

Looks pretty standard drifter stretch.. Wouldnt worry about it, have had tons of friends with similar or even more stretch drift and no debeading. =]

looks good man, like said before its drifter safe, ive ran a 165 i believe 35 on a 8 wide and put it through a drift even just because someone said i couldnt do it. the tires held up. not saying that its super safe to stretch tires but yeah your stretch isnt that bad
