safe everyday drive for stretch tire size ??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

seiyess · 11-10-2006, 04:24 PM

will this be ok for everday drive, not popping out?
235/40 for 11 wide
265/35 for 12 wide

sidewayz240 · 11-10-2006, 04:27 PM

wow, thats quite the strech, i personally wouldn't trust them on toronto roads, im sure socal road arnt much better.

ZX88 · 11-10-2006, 04:36 PM

its your life...if the roads arent so great i wouldnt stretch that much.

zackt69 · 11-10-2006, 05:16 PM

I have 275/35 on my G35 10.5 rears, and that seems pretty stretched out - 265/35 on a 12 sounds like too much stretch - not for sure though.

sideview_180sx · 11-10-2006, 06:15 PM

you will be fine, what car is it going on??? seems kinda leaning toward VIP sizing.

naed240sx · 11-10-2006, 06:35 PM

Too much stretch. Even on a 10j, a 235/40 is pretty damn stretched. It won't be safe.

chmercer · 11-10-2006, 07:30 PM

Eat a dick dean.

thats easy, rims not for poor people have bead seats. its not a problem

Thanks for the neg rep.

Even people on ziptied are scared of 235/40 on an 11j. Show me a picture of this, because I have never heard of anybody running that. It's fucking pointless anyways, beadseats or not. Sure, mild stretch is good for response, a big stretch helps fit hard to fit wheel sizes, but 235 on 11 is just fucking stupid.

I'm aware that it would probably fit, but it would take a shitload of work to get them on, and whether or not they would stay on would be a gamble. I wouldn't DD that shit.

For the record, here is 265/35/18 on 18x12 (Matt's car). He says it takes TWO beadrings to mount these. So no, it's not EASY.

Edit: Cool more negative rep. 235/40 on an 11 is retarded for a daily driven car and you all know it. Keep it coming.

chmercer · 11-11-2006, 12:07 AM

thoes sizes sound really hard to mount unless you get some goofy ass wide tires like wanlis or somthing. i couldnt get 2 different pairs of 265/35 to mount on my 12s. i would run like 255/35 and 285/30 on thoes wheel sizes. theyre 18s right

slideways2004 · 11-11-2006, 06:18 AM

cooper zeon is one of the hardest tires to stretch. they have a stiffer sidewall than most. a lot of times a cheetah is needed to stretch coopers.

Devilsolsi · 11-11-2006, 07:36 AM

Pardon my ignorance on this topic..

But what is the point of stretching the tires? I would think you would want a wider tire, more contact patch=more grip. I guess this could be different for drifting.

chmercer · 11-11-2006, 01:07 PM

cause hipari is the shit son,

search if you want a real answer

amplifi3d · 11-11-2006, 01:16 PM

run them shit stretched son. those sizes will be fine.

Silverbullet · 11-11-2006, 01:59 PM

i wouldn't trust daily cars on more than 1-2 sizes smaller. You really dont need it. People run stretched tires for stiffness and sensative road feel. You only need these for race cars, not street cars. It dosn't even look attractive IMO.

ixfxi · 11-11-2006, 02:08 PM

stretching tires is for fags. real men rock wide tires w/ the stickiest compound they can find.

No there not

. People do that so they can tuck big and low offset wheels nicely under the fenders.

backroadtouge · 11-11-2006, 09:55 PM

if your cars low enough to need them, then dooo itttt. basically, dont have rim sticking way all out from the tire, it looks kinda outta place and gets rashed.

chmercer · 11-11-2006, 11:16 PM

i guess you would get curb rash if you have no idea how to drive and grind your wheels on curbs and shit

Quangs203 · 11-12-2006, 12:25 AM

what kind of tires do you guys recommend stretching ? i've gotta get some tires for my WORK MEISTER S1 3pc.18x9+10 and 18x10+5 So i was thinking about the Bridgestone Potenza RE0960 225/40/18 for my front and 245/40/18 for the rear. But i do think 245 on a 10 might be a lil too conservative? either Bridgestones or FALKEN azenis st615 i'd run 235/40/18 in the rear.. what do you guys think ? any inputs ?

haha...thats funny but anyways. Personally a good rule of thumb for a stretch is 20mm less than the width of the rim. So for a rim thats 10" wide, convert it to mm and you get roughly 255mm. Smallest id go is 235, 10mm stretch on each side of the rim. Then it also depends on the rim itself, some companies measure their rims differently and ultimately the size of the rim itself since that will dictate how much side wall you have (bigger rims have less sidewally naturally)

chmercer · 11-12-2006, 12:26 PM

seiyess · 11-14-2006, 02:17 AM

thanks for all the replies..
i think i will just stay with what i have right now..
245/40 on 11 and 275/35 on 12.
rear clears easy but front, i thought i could just go narrower and go low but i guess i'll just clean up inside the well a little more... can't be lazy..

chmercer · 11-14-2006, 02:49 AM

you could try for 245/35 up front

i used to have to parallel park A LOT. after a bit u get the hang and park it perfect without touching the curb.
its all about ability to drive

as far as stretched tires, if u dont understand yet, go search

as far as the mommy and daddy comment
if u knew how much those guys waste their paychecks on cars maybe you'd have a rad looking car too
mom and dad. this isnt a VIPER forum, we drive fucking 240sx
