What is the point of installing tires that are so narrow you worry that they won't fit your wheels? Just get tires that fit and look good.

I think it actually makes you look broke because you cant afford a tire that fits your rim

Stretching is dumb and unsafe... not to mention the handling aspect of it all.

All of the wheel setups in the pictures posted look outright retarded. Way to ruin your cars. And ballers on $100 XXRs and other knock offs? ROFL.

im not a god damn hater, im always down for something different,

i normally would not voice my opinion, if my opinion is negative,

rob top of view of that stretch is not bad, i think just 1 or 2 size wider would look much cleaner

and not to single anyone out,

but this one is a bit too much stretch

then again everyone got different styles,

maybe it could just be the angle of the picture taken, and made it look way more stretch, but yea,

its funny im actually being negative to this trend hahahaha, oh times have changed
