The thing is if you really don't care about getting actual rubber on the rim why not go get some wheels that aren't as wide and toss a smaller tire on like a 195 on an 8 so you can still get that "stretched look" that you desire so much but without spending so much coin on tires.

ok im runnin r33 gtr wheels with 235/40s on em. they deffinetly dont look stretched compared to what im use to seein. even though discount swore up an down i needed something like a 255 or whatever, (which i said fuck u got my federals and put em on my self cause im a penny pincher too) but one of my friends is runnin some 5zigens that are 17x10 in the back and the same tire and hes deffinetly got more contact patch. u can tell from how wide the burn marks are he lays down. when these federals are done im goin to get some 215s for these rims for sure there like 10 bucks cheaper per tire last i checked. 40 bucks is 40 bucks. oh and r33 gtrs are 17x9 i forgot to say. (incase someone was wondering)
