stretched tires are dumb on a Z. too bad more people turn our car into something that's for looks not performance.

For those size rims. If it was me. I would put a 295/35-20 on the front and a 345/30-20 on the rear. Both of those tire are 28.1" tall. But everything depends on the offset.

Stretching the tire is only usefull for initial turn in thats it nothing more. I love how stretch tire means the hellaflush crowd. Theres people on this forum that run stretched tires, granted they aren't stretched to the point that its questionable. Look at Japan's time attack there are cars still running stretched tires.

I need to stop, and remember that this Z crowd only likes the popular ideas and that we lack any original ideas.

Being safe and taking, for example, tire racks recommendations on tire size=wheel width, isn't the popular idea, it's the intelligent one. Want to be original? Do it with something that doesn't cost your life or my family's if you have a blow out if the highway next to me! If the crash doesn't kill you, my sig will.

Sorry if stretched tires aren't your thing. Thanks for the helpful feedback.

If you look at tire size recommendations from Tire Rack for example they give you a range. Within that range you can stretch tires, or get to big of a tire size and you can do the same thing with a stretched tire break the bead and pop a tire.

Terrible that you would shoot someone over an accident.

It's not stretched within that range. Its normal. Hence that's why they listed it within that range. Unless I'm missing something this is about a "stretched" thread. Hence not within the range. For example the OP listed a 255/30/20 on an 11" wheel. Thats 1 inch over whats normal/safe.

Being an idiot is not an accident! They did **** on purpose for whatever reason and hurt my family because of it. I'd expect anyone to do the same. I'll smack a bitch doing makeup or texting too.

And now the stretched tire supporters come out of the woodwork. It's not "different strokes for different folks", it's "your idiotic choice has made the vehicle unsafe and you're putting everyone around you at risk so you can look cool to people who have no idea how things work."

Go ahead, hit a bump and see what happens when a tire debeads at speed. Try to only kill yourself.

It's not that we don't like original ideas (since when has hellaflush been original?), it's that we don't like stupid ideas.

And FYI, everyone comparing race cars to street cars, its a poor example! You don't drive a fixed seat, race harness, roll caged, stretched tire drift car to the grocery store with pot holes and speed bumps where mommy can hit you in the mini van and you smash your skull all over everything and die.

Plus the race teams that use stretched tires do a little more homework than "It looks hella tight on my slammed whip yo."
