??? They dont come with "Angled sidewalls" The tires are simply stretched. and the tires are some type of Toyos

toyo proxes 1...and like posted lol thats because of stretch

Mashimoto ZX :troll:

Since OP's question is answered, anyone know where I can get those hats that have the bill on the side? All the ones I see have the bill in the front.

if you are over 18, the bill should be in the front :D

oops i had a feeling they were stretched but don't really have knowledge of tires lol. what size tires are those do you think will stretch like that on 18 inch rims or are they stretched because the rims are wide? any cons to doing that? I'd like to know what options i have of tires since theres limited sizes in 225 40's that im currently looking at. THANKS

They are stretched because the rims are wide. not a clue about the tire size they have tho, sorry dude

Tires are stretched when a tire smaller than the appropriate size is mounted on any given width of rim. Check tyrestretch.com to compare tire size to rim width.

Pros:
Looks good.
Less side wall movement when in a drift.

Cons:
Pushes tire beyond manufacturers guidelines, increasing the likelihood of failure.

ahh thanks so much. Currently I have 114.3 18 inch rim on my car, which one of those sizes on the website do you think come closest to the one looking in my link above? would I have to buy something lower than 225 40?

Need to know rim width not pcd....

Haven't heard of that happening yet though. I do hear people get their rims scratched to hell with the tires stretched defeating the sidewall protector.

Bolt pattern size is not needed. Your rims are 18^ but how wide are they>

For Example, My rims are 17" x 7" wide. Im running a 235/40ZR17 on my rear, and they are close to being square with the rim

i think my width is 6.5 or 7-7.5. I need help getting the correct size to have it look like the pics above on the accord!

6.5" is a pretty skinny wheel
i hate asking but why do you wanna do this anyway, do you know why people even have stretched tires?



:suspicious: i think people stretch tires when they 'need' to

nvm just looked at specs, my rim is 18x8. I am just wondering what tires will fit nicely like the tires up there in the link for 18 inch rims. I am trying to find ones that don't look like rally tires, but smooth like that with stretch that looks more flush.

anyone know what kind of girls these are?
what ethnicity , what size etc.. i am looking for ones like these that have the curves on them

Tire failure isn't extremely common, but I've heard of it happening for two reasons:
The tire bead breaking loose - probably more common on ghetto DIY stretches.
The excessive stress placed on the side wall.

I've definitely heard that stretched tires are more susceptible to curb damage, due to the lack of protection normally given by the side wall. Also, some people encourage running higher tire pressure when on stretched tires which results in increased tire wear.

You wont be able to stretch anything on an. 8" rim. Heres a 215/35 18 on a 8" rim. Pretty much square. Rear is 225 40 on a 9" rim

^ not true.

Try a 195 on an 8" wide

Same as a 225 on a 9"

Camber > Stretching thinner tire than OE Spec.

Also, stretching tires just because it "looks cool" is stupid. You only stretch for fitment issues. If you're rolling on sunken wheels and have stretched tires, you're a ricer.

Ok, if they made a 195/xx-18 then sure. But they don't
