Um... in the most basic way of discribing it... shifter kart meets Full size car! :D

The angle of deflection is greatly reduced in the sidewall of the tire giving the tire more of a solid feel now as this may drasticly decrease the comfort level of the ride for the pilot of the vehical it makes him/her feel more comfortable/confident in how the car is going to handle, the tire becomes more reliable or consistent. a grave danger to the life of the rim is drasticly increased as the camber of the tires changes drasticly with the body roll of the vehical. If the "Stretched setup" where to come in contact with a variation in the surface it would cause potental and grave harm to the rim itself. THat is why you should only practice these Maneuvers on a closed course or parking lot ;)

Well, Those are for my box, and the only reason I'm doing that is clearance issue, and the same time make them shorter since they don't make 30 series for 18s (got some problem between two sets of wheels)
This is more work than I thought but I also had another project to work on to day so I gave up !! But I will post picture of them stretched soon !!

I would say about $30 or so, but as I said I'm doing this because of fitment issue I don't think the price would make that much difference, I would have thought they were a $880 instead of $850 per wheel lol, but it take some time for US culture to understand this style, it might be stupid but I like it !!
