Its called a Stretch. There is not any real performance advantages. I've heard its supposed to keep the sidewall more stable when cornering but NO tire manufacturer would ever recommend such a thing. Personally I think it looks stupid.

i am the guy that goes against the flow.. make that tire fit right, don't stretch the thing. that can cause some serious tire damage

If ya want aggressive fitment its about how wide you want to go and offset lower offset more it would stick out 225 on a 9 size wheel would be huge stretch. I have no idea what you are going for
