Yeah, like the nightmare I had a while back where all the dog turds in my back yard starting 'evolving'. Some of them were crawling around, and some of them actually sprouted legs and were running around. It looked like they were getting into formation for an attack on the house, and I woke up in a panic. Anyway, I don't think it's a coincidence that stretched tire/rim setups look like POO.

That Z isn't as bad as some but still not my taste.

You guys are right to a point... yes extremely stretched tires look like poo. However one brand 305's will not be the same actual width as another brands 305's when it comes to the side walls. By this I mean if it has a lil poke then give the person a break but if you can fit quarters in between the tire and rim that is a whole new level.

I have this advice for those running aggressive offsets:
run more camber... if that is not enough do a slight stretch to clear the fender... if that doesnt work roll/pull your fenders... and finally if that doesnt fit your screwed when it comes to looking tasteful and clean...

These pictures are to the extreme.... yes it is nonfunctional as a sports car now but I think the less dramatic stretch does look good just sitting there

After reading previous post in this thread I think I may not be too popular in here lol

I'm guessing they have some sort of air suspension that lifts the car back up to a decent height when it's time to drive.
