So are any of the owners actually in this thread, or is this just a compilation of Ziptied greatest stretches...

[S13-Silvia]

[revat619]

For drifting yes. If you run them directionally in the rear, yes they're horrible. They peal like no other. Run them backwards and all is well with the world. For daily pimpin and picking up highschool hotties, they're just fine. :D

you damn jailbait cradle robbin thing you you eww. haha

[sunnys14]

the higher the profile, the easier it is to get the sidewalls to flex to fit on the rim. my FNs had 205/40/17 on 10 inch rim when i bought them. it looked like the side walls were gonna bust its beads. not safe at all.

[chmercer]

dude no way a 205/40/17 would fit on a 10

that shit only goes onto a 9 with gasoline

highschool hotties are cool if you like hanging out at the oldfolks home / graveyard / wheelchair store

middleschool only

[skate07]

middleschool only

i did a 205/40 ecsta 711 on a i piece 17x9 with no issues whatsoever for a customer with the sportmax nismo knockoffs, those wheel barrels are so thick and the tire mounting groove is so little, so simple. the bead seated just fine though we had the cheetah ready if need be...

[kuruptR]

Iv ran 3 years ago 225/40/18 on 10", the rim touched the ground while driving...that was the end of that stupid idea.

[Gumballf355]

Who cares about safe... Style is risky...

[JDMPalace]

I don't care if it is safe or not, sure I poped the tire once but I love the look !! stretching 40+ sidewalls are very very easy. This is 215/35/18 on 18x11 !! By the way, that is tire cleaning foam you see there :bigok:

undesiredshoe: That is one HORRIBLE stretch. Wtf would someone stretch with such a high sidewall. Wait... Is that... All seasons?! Oh my...

Stretching is for pussy's, literally... real men have a lot of meat.


But Im a pussy, so Im stretching 205's over a 8.5 in the future due to lack of funds.

Jumping up to 245's soon though.

Well The wheels 18x11 were on my scion !!!
I was driving the car like this for about a year !! I was getting tons of strange look and one time even got pulled over and cops thought my wheel is comming off !!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v363/boxybox/JDMPBEFORE.jpg

Then I decided to make the car look different so I did a full steel wide body on the car !!

[marshun]

jeeezus. lol 185's on a 10" wide? lol.

whatever it is..it looks like its rollin balls

[chmercer]

i dont know how that works

i almost think that there are bead rings left on the wheel

[Bryants95240sx]

There just becomes a point where this gets ridiculous.

[Teambadrun]

I had 225/40/18 on 18x10.5 " rim....

That was so scretched , probably as much as you can go as the car sat so so low with the amount of scretch.

Also it is poinless and you get shit all traction.

My favourite is a 235/40 on 10.5" rim.


:fawkd:

[Matej]

So this week I'll be stretching my first pair of tires. 215/35 on a 9.5". No one around here really has any experience with it (The Midwest is always behind.). Any tips or anything I should look out for? I'll post them when I'm done, I'm excited, haha. :)

[NA4NOW]

Ill be stretching my first set soon, too. Im looking haer to help me decide size. Ill have my 18x8's and 18x10's soon.

Someone post a good "how to" vid.

[Ian]

Don't fuck it up


just keep an eye on the beads so they don't get torn up, make sure you use lots of lube, but not too much....you loose all the feeling if you use too much

[LB.Motoring]

If you need to know how to,

then your doing it to be a band wagon jumper.

you dont even know why there "is" tire strech, and why chassis need to run it etc.

['90RPS13]

[McRussellPants]

dopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee stretch to the moooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nn

[skynyrd2290]

quite frankly all the wheels and tires on this thread looks like shit!

I always thought the purpose of a wider wheel was for more tire not less

['90RPS13]

Maybe you should reprocess your thought. Wider wheel could mean more traction, sure. But iirc, stretched tires allow cleaner/easier breakaway when sliding and less tire roll. Correct me if I am wrong.

[SwiftS14]

Ill be stretching my first set soon, too. Im looking haer to help me decide size. Ill have my 18x8's and 18x10's soon.

then your doing it to be a band wagon jumper.

you dont even know why there "is" tire strech, and why chassis need to run it etc.

Personally Ive always admired the strected look. People have been doing it for a certain appearce since the eighty's.

Im doing this for the first time, because its only till NOW that I want this look. So I am hopping on the band wagon, ..I guess. I'm looking to run minimum clearence between my rim and fender, so stretching is a MUST.

[Matej]

Yes I am doing it to be a wagon jumper, just like most other people did, because stretched tires allow for fire hot wheel fitment, it looks sexy when the fender is pulled over the sloping tire, yet the lip of the wheel itself sticks out slightly or sits flush with the fender, plus smaller tires are cheaper...and it lets you have nice big wheels while keeping the rolling surface of a narrower wheel, especially when combined with camber, so it drifts sooo good, haha.

Thanks for the tip mainevent212.

[Wei240]

alright, someone put some 165's on 15 wide... :rolleyes: :ugh:

[sblack13]

too bad you don't have shit for rep, and it's not doing any good. Thanks for wasting your time. Come again

[comeonkip]

Maybe its cause I'm uber noobage, but wth is with the stretched tires? is it just to remove all compliance from the sidewall to get em spinnin easier?

[yokotas13]

man quit bitching about rep
you both get shit on

[FaLKoN240]

Fo sheeze. Haha.

[240trainee]

more or less

or to fit baller wheels

but yea, more predictable breakaway of traction is the idea, streaching lessens sidewall flex

at least to a point, no performance thing in those 185's on 11" wheels, lol. Thats just style

[newb_driver]

anyone have a like a 205/40 or a 205/45 on 9.5 wheelies by any chance?

205/45 would probably go on

Something looks weird about that stretch.

[20 til 3]

there should be a little more sidewall on those 275's thats why it looks so funny 275/35s would have looked a little better, but i'm sure clearance was an issue

MORE sidewall? ugh

[bryce with a y]

MORE sidewall? ugh

yea! wait....what?

[20 til 3]

its a 30 series and the stretch really doesnt work as well with that small of a sidwall and it pulls the bead instead of rolling the sidewall

[Pank]

couldn't have said it better myself. I figured it was a balance between the two, but IMO I wouldn't have my rim lip hanging out like a scrotum in the wind, especially seeing as how much some of those purdy wheels cost.

[lillaozboi]

what is a good stretch on a 16x10 wheel?

[ayuaddict]

offset? body mods?

[lillaozboi]

0 offset and hopefully try to get away with major pull and roll.

Up!


… I would have an other question.

I have to buy work equip 18x10J-4 and 18x11-17 :D ( i have fender flair )

and I would have a handsome price for tires ( 500can tx in. so 400$us )
Yokohama
225-40ZR18 AVS ES-100
275-35ZR18 AVS dB S2

Thus that would be too streatcher for a control of the every day?:bite:

The 225/40 sounds alright, but your won't be able to slam the front of your car though. 275/35 is too big of stagger though, try 245/40(or 35) or 255/35. But, if thats what you want it should be pretty good for daily driving.

Hey guys I went the el cheapo way out and purchased some Cobra R 5x114.3 wheels

(2) 17 x 9" (2" lip)
(2) 17 x 10.5" (3" lip)

Of course i'll run w/o centercaps. Anyways, running em on an S14. I was curious if anyone could give me a good idea of size and height of tires.
I was thinking

215-40R17 in front
245-35R17 in rear

What do you guys think?

also the website i got these from don't show offsets, does anyone know how much of a wheel spacer I'll need for these things?

Thanks!

For the front, I would say you need a 15mm to clear coils and get nice fitment. Also, I would suggest 215/45 for the front. No spacer for the rear, but change the tire to 245/40. Just a thought about the rear tire, it would save you some money.

r u sure about everything? i havnt gotten the wheels yet and would be nice to get everything ordered ahead of time.

[liv2drift045]

You ask him if he's sure as if you plan to hold him responsible if this stuff doesn't fit. This is a science.. a hobby even for some man. I dont know how many different tires i collected when I got my vs-kfs. You may have to try a few different types of setups. Tires are designed differently, some sidewalls dont stretch the same as others etc.

Best you can do is look at pics of other car or take the advice... It may work or it may not. I hope you get these to fit. GL

[opponheimer]

Haha, thanks. I've searched and searched and havn't found anything on the web of s14s with these type of mustang rims. I'll definitly put pics up when i get them/finish the car.

Front: 17x9 205's
Rear: 17x10.5 245's !

I put tein ha's on my s14 project car and tried to put the front wheel on, of course it hits the coil. Just curious if anyone had any idea what size spacer i'll need with these tires the wheels are +24 front +27 rear offset, rather shitty.

Get some pics. What are you building the car for? Camber settings play into flushness as well.

[opponheimer]

just DD grocery getter/ w/ a redtop, and working AC nothing fancy.. I'll get some pics tomorrow, of the car and the wheels. I don't want to drift it, i would like decent handling, however I'm guessing i will have mad camber..

[S13-Silvia]

Did you mean 215s? Cause going from a small ass 205 to meaty 245s might cause alot of understeer.

[Slidin240Wayz]

17x9+24 will require a 4mm spacer.

I have a 17x9+30 with a 10mm spacer and I clear megans. I can actually use a 30mm spacer to be flush.

[opponheimer]

No 205's. I got the tires from an el-cheapo place, tires have 80% tread on them, they're used of course, 215s with the right tire height weren't available. I could really care less about a lot of understeer though (this is DD car plain & simple), $100 for all four tires mounted balanced including cost of labor is probably less than what I'd pay if i got one brand new tire for the 10.5" rim.. I'll get pics later gotta clean up the house some first

Ok cool, make sure you take the pics when its not foggy outside in Silent Hill. :keke:

lol i wish the roads up here were good enought to run a 35 series. did my 17x9 with 215/40r17 and my car would have been less than and inche off the ground. So now going with 225/45r17 in the back and 215/45r17 in the front on my 8's

but seriously guys. when your blasting some of those tires i ussually am worried about blowing the tire from the pressure coming out to fast. nothing to worry about since its in a cage but fuck is that a loud bang

crazy streches in here, keep up the good work

a little stretch is cool, but I think those extreme stretches look silly.

I can understand fitments stretching and a stretched look can be cool, but why would you pot a 205mm tire on a 10" wheel? Other than an extreme look is there an advantage that I am not aware of?

[giant killer]

those boso stretches make me visualize a donkey tongue.. look it up if you dont know..

because, you know, rubbing your tires all over your fenders is safe.

perhaps you are one of those people who dont believe in rolling your fenders.

perhaps you like super narrow wheels.

thats cool.

thats your choice.

some of the earlier stuff in this thread looks good though...
i know, i know, thats just my opinion, happy stretching!!!

I run 235/40/17 on 8" wheels and they don't rub on anything so bite me. I could run 9' wheels with at least 255 or 265 without rubbing with only a small fender pull. And it is not my opinion that it is dangerous to stretch your tires it is FACT.

Maybe if you would have stretched those Federals?...no crashy?

Haha. I'm just bugging you dude.

I stretch for the look. It's the only way you can get flush wheels on a super low car with stock fenders. Still have 245's on the back. Don't see a problem with that.

[TheSquidd]

I love the idiot Zilvia mentality of:

"Hey look a thread that is about something I don't care for at all, I better go in there and tell them how much I don't care for it! Yes!"

You don't like stretch ? Stay the hell out of the stretch thread? NO ONE in this thread gives a RATS ass what the hell you think, seriously. Who the fuck are you? Eat my tits. Racepar1, and all the other idiots posting non-sense in here, enjoy your red squares. Steve, I actually value your opinion, but still, this isn't a thread for you.

This isn't Formula 1. This isn't GT racing. This is (for most of these cars in this thread) drifting.

1. It looks cool, and lets you fit wheels.
2. It tenses up the tire, giving you quicker traction loss in most cases. Driving with crazy hippari like my friend's Corolla pictured above makes the rear end feel like it's driving on butter. This is nice on a car that has low power (like his).
3. I've yet to see anyone pop bead. We beat the hell out of those 165's and they were fine. He drove home on them if I remember correctly. Maybe you pop bead, maybe you don't. Maybe your gas tank explodes, maybe a comet hits you mid-drift, maybe your welded diff breaks, maybe your hood flies up, maybe you run over a baby. Fuck maybe, real men don't pussy around maybes, they drive and look bad ass and die in a fiery wreck of awesome.

And so I'm not a fucking moron like half of you, here's my stretch.

Tire stretches good, but the sidewall has a shitty ass shape. Concave sidewalls suck for stretch. I think I could do a 215/40/18 but then I'd have too much fender clearance in the rear.

I need to find a cheap, 60$ convex sidewall tire. I wish I could afford Falken Ziex. :(

[TheSquidd]

I require photographic evidence that you actually make sparks on the road and didn't just overly lower your car for a photo.

[Matej]

Not on the road, I meant the lips of the wheels against the fenders when drifting, it's even cooler than smoke haha.

[TheSquidd]

I still want to see it. This is what I plan on doing too. All I need is about 1/8" lower and I'll be there. They rub already when driving over speed bumps or when going up a driveway.

yeah but you don't need that much stretch for drfting.

a 235 40 17 on a 17X9 is more than enough with a stiff sidewall tire

most stiff sidewall production high performance tires are the most popular with professional teams for drifting as well -yokohamas, toyos, falken azenis, bridgestone reo1-r etc.

but i guess if you have say iono 100 whp.

stretching a 215 on the biggest thing you find can be like fitting ice skates to a drunk pitt bull or poodle depending on your wtrq.

sigh

[Matej]

I still want to see it. This is what I plan on doing too. All I need is about 1/8" lower and I'll be there. They rub already when driving over speed bumps or when going up a driveway.
Haha I want to see it too, that's just what people have been telling me, I wish I could see my car from the outside whenever I'm driving it, but hopefully someone will shoot pics when it runs again. Don't you have FRP overfenders though? I'm guessing the main reason why my lips spark is because I still have the boring stock metal panels.


do i spy sportmax??:whip:
Yessss I know I know haha, but they're so cheap, I'm planning on using them as canvas and start a collection and paint every pair a different crazy color, or paint random pictures and graphics on them.

[TheSquidd]

I still have metal rear stock fenders Matej.


Steve:

I'm sorry did you just talk about what professional teams use? How does that apply? Show of hands, who here is a professional drifter? Hell, raise your hand if you even compete in a series at all.

Thought so.

What I said was, the stretch can have some benefits such as stiffer tire, that is NOT the reason it is done at all.

It's done because it's stupid. It's done because it looks rad. It's done because then you can put a big ass wheel tucked riiiiight up against the fender with like 8 degrees of camber.

It's hard to explain, but there are some people out there that are all about extremes, obviously you're not really one of them, that's fine.

But some of us want

The biggest wings (who care's if they're functional)
The largest wheels (who care's how crappy our steering is)
The deepest lips (who cares what this does to our alignment)
The loudest exhausts (who cares if we lose HP)
Flames coming out of pipes and screamingly loud (who cares if this means we're running poorly)
tons of ridiculous angle and smoke
flush to the point of dangerous
Ridiculous camber (fuck tire wear)
colors so bright your eyes hurt
more vinyl stickers than Nascar (I can't see out the windshield but DAMN I look good)

There's not a whole lot of this "thinking" with drifting. You make it fast, you make it look cool and then you go drive.

Ask BH what his alignment specs are. Ask Haraguchi why he set up his FC suspension the way he did, what arms he used. Ask him why he runs 20"s on a car that can't fit 19"s. You'll find that most in drifting don't give a shit.

We're not going for lap times, we're not going for safety, we're not going for stability, we're not going for accuracy, we drift to have fun and to look bad ass. Whatever it takes to do those two things and nothing more.

It brings a smile to my face when someone tells me how stupid I am for what I do.

Tire stretching is a waste of time and and just for show, you can't drive on it.
Plus, it's unsafe and doesn't even look good.

[irax]

this thread is not to argue about tire stretch. it's to show it off
don't be an ass hat, gtfo!

[steve shadows]

I have to admit Squidd, I am not a fan of overly stretched tires, or the drifting "scene", and this has not changed either...



but damn, that was very well put. :bow:

sure but he still hides from board members at meets lol

[TheSquidd]

I don't hide, I just don't make any effort to talk to any of you.

Doesnt look like much of a stretch, but 205's on 9"s in the front and 245's on the 10.5"s in the back.. It was pretty hard putting them on by myself too..

[opponheimer]

Got the chassis for $1000 mid summer, its my DD now / sr (in sig)

Those are the mustang bullit wheels 17x9 front 17x10.5 back on ebay for $489 shipped. The front of hubs needed extended lug studs and i'm running a 5mm spacer.. Back fitment is fine.. doesn't rub at all on s14 w/o wheel wells..

[SpuGen]

How are you supposed to stretch them? Is there a certain procedure or do you just go nuts on the lube and giver?

PSI? Certain things to look out for?

[PBucch]

Yep, That is my XB !! It handles worse than you think!! The car jumps by just changing lane on HW !! But hey I guess it's one way to do it !!

On my S14 I'm more than happy with 245 on 10.5 which I don't even call it stretch in my book.

[xcusememisswyn]

haha, complaining about rep is like asking for more

[pab_drifter]

since where on the rim subject i just wanted to ask for some of your opinions i wana put some sportmax rims on my s13 hatch ok i was thinking on getting the 006 rims 18x9.5 in the rear and 17x9 up front i was gona put 215/40/17 up front and 225/40/18 any suggestions would be apreciated

[ThatGuy]

Here's a suggestion:

Stay away from shitty Sportmax junk and don't ask wheel questions in a thread about tires.

Don't ask for opinions on the internet, it never ends well. Just build your own car how you want it.

[d*star180]

For the guy that kept asking above.
Those wheels are SSR Koenigs.

[LimitedEdition]

Stretching tires is two reason = fitment and breakaway when drifting. If you doing it for looks, why? It you have fitment problems, sure.

205/40/17 (?) Up front and 225/40/18 outback seems fine.

[ilia]

You can tune a car's under/oversteer characteristics by using more or less stretch. Because of how tire slip angles work, more stretch will inevitably remove the tire's ability to ride the peak grip point of it's mu curve, as you won't be able to achieve optimal slip angle. That means that the more stretch you have, the less that tire grips.

Say your car plows as it's set up. It's easy to set it up to be neutral by using tire stretch intelligently. Limit stretch at the front, and rock a full width tire on the front wheel. Stretch out back. You'll get a car that is either more neutral, or oversteers, depending on specifics like tire pressure, tire type, and the amount of stretch.

As a specific example, on my stock suspension FC, I was able to dial out all understeer and tune it for neutral handling in grip and drift by running 9j fronts and 10j rears with a 225 front and 235 rear. The 225's full width, so it grips hard. The 235's a bit stretched, so it struggles a little. The result is that with good tires all around, the car never really unders, no matter what I'm doing. It's very well balanced.

Just a thought.

[Hooorahh!]

front 18x9 w/ 225/40
rear 18x10 w 235/40
not to extreme but its good ... next time might go with a 215 up front

Not to be a dickola. But that's unstretched to me. Maybe it's the sidewall design, but it's almost damn near straight.

I want extreme. EXTREMEEEEEE.

I'm gonna go lick my tires right now.

[yokotas13]

im gonna put like a 215/35 on a 9j

[Wookie384]

There's not a whole lot of this "thinking" with drifting. You make it fast, you make it look cool and then you go drive.

...

We're not going for lap times, we're not going for safety, we're not going for stability, we're not going for accuracy, we drift to have fun and to look bad ass. Whatever it takes to do those two things and nothing more.

It brings a smile to my face when someone tells me how stupid I am for what I do.

/rant #2 today

And then when people get ideas like this and try to drift in the canyons and plant themselves in the side of a mountain or at the botom of the canyon, we can thank this mentality; all because they wanted to have that "gangsta lookin tire stretch". I'm sorry, but I agree with racepar1, and steve, it's not safe to strech your tires so much. Drifting, no matter what, is still a form of motorsport, and in motorsports you try to go fast. Last time I checked, you still get points for speed at drifting competitions corect? So explain how its functional when you can't drift that fast? Or how its functional when your drifting and your car bottoms out, or brakes a bead and you plant yourself into a wall? I'd rather have a car that looks like ass and is way faster that the nice looking car, but that my opinion. (That's why I built my xB's suspension, trust me I'll give you a run for your money with it). If you want to break grip with such a wide tire, go to Pepboys, or your local tire shop and get the cheapest tire with a high treadwear, don't waste your hard earned cash on Azenis, or expensive tires like that when you know you're not using that tires full potential. I understand how you get a kick when people tell you that you're stupid for doing what you do, just like how people tell me I'm stupid for racing a Scion, But atleast I'm not being reckless towards my well being. I always put safety first.

I almost did that, but I was scared I'd understeer like crazy with a 215, so I put a 225/35 on it instead. Did what I wanted. Got me lower. LOL That is one short ass tire.

see..... here's the thing, i'm down at the Y, and my roommate, he's a bit of an odd duck, he stretches tires. see, now, if you read your own post, you'd understand that in drifting, we'd also like to go fast. it's motorsport, and as such, shit-tastic tires don't accomodate our grip requirements. this is why you shouldn't be arguing here. it's obvious that your concept of "drifting" is what bow-wow told ya, we aren't in control unless we're out of control. and in the end, it doesn't matter what your opinion is anyways, this isn't an opinion thread. stretch your tires and post pics, or don't post here.

Wow.... you just related me stretching tires on my track car to people crashing in the canyons...

What kind of retarded logic is that? Are you fucking brain dead? It's scum bag rationalizations like that, that make this state suck to live in.

What I do with my tires has NOTHING, and I repeat NOTHING to do with people crashing in canyons. A hope a fucking asteroid hits you in the face for having such a bullshit thought process. Seriously, do NOT blame ME for stupid kids in their Honda Accords flipping at the local "too-gay".

I have heard of NO ONE crashing in a mountain around here because they ran a stretched tire. Please, chime in if you have, but I have never heard of it.

I HATE baseless claims like this.



2 - Who the fuck ever said this was about performance? You stretch because of how it LOOKS. I don't know how many other ways I can say this. IT'S NOT A PERFORMANCE BENEFIT TO STRETCH YOUR TIRE. No one is arguing that. If you're going to start a debate with me, at least READ MY POST FIRST. You will NOT last in an argument with me if you can't at least do that.

3 - You think I don't have safety in mind?

That's why I have 4 wheel Z32 brakes, that's why I have a 5 point racing harness, that's why I have a 4 point FIA approved roll bar, that's why I have a FIA certified bucket seat, that's why I have a SA2000 certified helmet, that's why I have fireproof FIA approved racing gloves?

It's DRIFTING. Safety is a distant third to 1. Looking BAD ASS 2. Driving Badass. Safety is still a concern but it's not top priority.

Think about it, at most of these tracks we're doing like max 70mph through a turn? By ourselves? With nothing but a cone, haybale or a little patch of dirt to hit?

There's no walls on So Cal race tracks. There's no cliffs. If you go off course the most you're going to hurt is your cheap aero.

I've popped tires in mid drift, my car didn't flip over onto it's roof and explode in flames, it just went POP and I slowed down. BFD.

Can't go fast with stretch tires? Ask the stretch master.
