hey guys the blk 350z is daily driven and is even lower now. pretty much on the ground now and is the sickest on in hawaii. he is a friend of mine.

 

the torques came with the 35 series. they still have pretty good life in them, so im just gonna run them until i need new ones. i was thinking of going with a 40 series, but im not sure if im gonna end up rubbing.

 

For those of you... well, I guess all of you, who stretch tires: Not just any tire shop can stretch tires onto a wide wheel, right? I remember hearing from someone that most large businesses turn you away. And for those of you on 215's on a 9.5" rim or wider: any tips how to avoid problems?

 

yeah i called about 10 places in my area, and i got asked if i was on drugs by one company, told it was impossible by another, and then basically just told it was a huge liability issue by everyone else. eventually i just said ____ it and called up my friend that works for Galpin Ford and he sent me to the place that does all their low profile tires and i got the hookup. you basically just need to call around until you get one that'll do it.

and to avoid problems with stretched tires...just be careful when driving. the usual pothole avoiding and such will keep your tires holding up fine.

 

Thanks. You're supposed to over inflate your tires with a big stretch, right?

 

i run mine at like 38-40 psi or something like that, i don't remember. they've been perfectly fine, though.

 

I was told that you should not inflate the PSI to the recommended tire spec on the tire that is being stretched or already stretched but to stay about 8-5 PSI under the recommended

 

no.
you over inflate it or fill it on the high side of the manufacturer spec.
if its under inflated theres no way it will stay seated

 

buy this and mount your tires yourself. haha

LOL. I'd probably just get people killed. Alllllright. It's back to reading through these pages again. I hope to have a decison on tires soon. Thanks, gentlemen.

 

Discount Tire couldn't even get 225s to mount on my DPTs with a cheetah. I thought Falkens were easy to stretch but I ended up finding some Conti's with a softer sidewall and had a mom and pop shop mount them for 60 bucks.

 

stretching brand new 215's onto a 10" will be a pain in the ___ cuz of the hard sidewall..

soo, just blow the tire up with fire and lighter fluid. lol it'll bead :D

 

215's on a 10" wasn't that hard...well if the shop knows what they are doing.
