Din't know about that, most of us here that run 19's and other sizes have that stretched look , I've ran mine for about a year and a half and they seem ok still....hhhmmmm...but if it does wear a bit more, oh well, it's the style and we can always get new tires again...

 

There is nothing wrong with stretch tire, the only thing you might notice is ride quality which is a little bit stiffer other than you even get better handling, here a 215/35/18 on 9". JDMP

 

Dave,

Nice wheels, and good job on the stretch. That's what I had in mind also, should I ever decide to finally go w/ 18s and staggered fit.

Another tire expert!

(Cool, someone has been going thru my posts and deleting them.)

 

Yeah, I see tons of stretched tires at the track...

But hey. Nobody ever bought a Scion to go fast or handle well. That's cool. These things are about style. If that's the style you like, then cool.

Seriously...

Just don't assume that because a guy just discovered this forum that he's a noob in general terms.

Sure, they may be within acceptable Nitto specs, but I wouldn't say its an optimal situation.

To each his own... Really.

Dude, not following you :? first ya give me a ribbin with your original un-edited post “A stretched tire like that simply means that you are using the wrong sized tire for the rim. Good job on that one. Hope your tires last... “

Then you totally go into reverse and edit your original post to make it sound like I
flamed you.

Like I said your stats looked new and therefore I thought you might need some help. So don’t feel sorry for yourself you made a vague post and I responded no harm no foul.

In general all my post are in some form are to provide good information and DIY mods ask anyone or do a search on me. I’m not out to flame or have braggin rights. Just want to help other tuners out and exchange info.

So my only advice to you is to maybe be a little more tactful in how you post, and/or if ya got something to say back it up with facts maybe pics etc.

BTW I think I am still 25 but probably have a son that might be your age, but to my knowledge age isn't a factor being a gearhead young or old.

No worries, it’s all good…

 

well said dave...go to sleep man u gots work tomorrow

 

Yeah Mike it's been a long day just finished doing some more lighting cit and a battery cutout switch mod I almost have finished. Good to see ya at Longo, are ya going North with us next month?

L8r,

zzzZZZzzzz

 

naw i dobut it right now..but i will most liekly be going in april =)

 

Well said Dave. I also see Proto's point about stretched tires, but were not racing these 108 hp cars it's all looks. Apparently he doesn't know the bB car culture w/ jdm and vip styles, since the cars have been out in Japan for over 5 or more years. BTW I've been running 19 x 8 on a 215/35 series tires for over a year w/ no problems!

 

im setting my box for auto x....it just means 2 sets of wheels and tires, staggered and streched 18's daily and wide fat 17 in ra1's for the track....didnt know it was impossible to have a dual purpose car

brent

 

It's not impossible tinybigrig, but if you were using those stretched 18s at the track, you would see what I'm talking about.

Hey guys don't go to sleep! I'm in Iraq! Im awake while you sleep and vice-versa.

If you want to look like a Very Important Person (VIP) on your daily ride then cool.

And Puss-in-Boots, I didn't do anything to make it look like you flamed me. I simply used your words, not mine.

If you like that look, go for it. No offense. Just don't expect max tire performance. My statment still stands. If you took offense. Sorry. Honestly.

You will always be a VIP in my eyes.

 

You’re a playful guy, but hey it takes all kinds and I to hold a special little place in my heart for you. :oops:


Peace - Toy xBox

 

Dave you selling your one ton garage shims by chance?

 

cant wait to order my work wheels

 

Man, when I was in Iraq in 91 I never have internet acccess.

 

If I have to get the camber kit I probably will have to sell them, If not I will probably have to keep them for the backup wheels. I should know soon as it quits raining and I finish road testing it.

 

Yeah same here Brad when I was on the USS New Jersey and Iowa; hell we were lucky we got freggin snail mail. I think they just started getting it on the USS Wisconsin in the Gulf just as I got out of the Navy in 93. But maybe this dude is a civi not sure :?:

Dang, Emerson is moddling like crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drool! Nice choice of wheels...Work Rules.
