what makes it worse is that they have probably got inner tubes in them to push the side walls out that far.

would be good to see it at 100mph on the motor way see what happens


it's going on a saxo, they can't do 100mph, they're all crap. i'd prefer to see it doing 50mph round a corner tbh


and where are you 2day?

going to buy one, if what u post is true

The reason he has done it is because hes had to so the tyre is under the arch and still legal.

So why not buy wheels that fit?
Those wheels would have cost him big bucks

I have stretched tyres on my golf, thought it would be a bit dodgy myself but i s'pose theres 30lb of pressure on the other side that thinks otherwise!!

i think ou need to understand dub to understand the streached tyres. My mate has a Mk3 and he streches his, plus another lad had a polo with streched tyres to, its the euro way to do it!

I think people understand the whole 'stretch it a bit' thing, but that really is taking it too far, it's just dangerous and looks silly.

That Polo looks fine. My tyres on my 18's are strtched a bit so that the sidewalls aren't so tall. I think that's what we were trying to achieve at least

I remember years ago a fella that used to turn up at the Chelsea cruise in a potty MK I in black primer with all the chrome removed that had 175/50/13 Yokohama A008RSs on 7.5 x 13 RS 2000 X-Pack rims.

That looked amazing, but I always wondered how the hell they fitted and if it was safe.
