stretched tyre look

[alex.wilson]

hey guys, i was wondering how exactly do you get the stretched/drift tyre look on your rims?

cheers

[ae86]

wide rims 185/60 for 14's and 195/50 for 15's

[.ady]

well its simple....put some thing small on something big to make it stretch? so if u want stretch get a wide rim 8 inch wide sud do it and put 185/60 on it if its 14 like ae86 above

or if u hav by 7 wide put a 165 or 175 for a bit of stretch look

[todd]

its like when you put my doodle in yo mumma, she stretches. and the forums gaiz are all like woooo oww yerr soooo hot!! and im like owwwwwwww yeeeerrrrrrr giggity giggity

[slidwayz]

say your wheels cum stock with 215/55r15 or instance put a 185/50or 55 r15 on it

[alex.wilson]

Its more than the look that people go for

1. Driver feel
2. Fits under guards when rims have - offset
3. Price

I should add though, if you actually want grip though (which is typically what you want at least on the front) I'd run at least a 185 on the front. Because after all they are what is pointing you in the direction you want to go.

[driftke70]

general rule of thumb i use for 14s is 185 on 8, 195 on 9,
that being said, i run 185 on 9s.

[xsoarerx]

just buy a decent tyre is what ive found.

ive run 205/50's and they have had less grip than 195/55's in a decent tyre.

width doesnt always mean more grip.

[driftke70]

i also feel like you can overtyre keto and 86s pretty easy, cause they dont have alot of weight on each corner, realistcally your looking at (.52x850)/2 at the front corners and (.48x850)/2 on the rear corners, and if your talking about a contact part around 3-5cm2 on a 195 50 or 2-4cm2 on a 185 60, your looking at a very small amount of applied pressure, of course that amount changes with loading, but thats precisely my point, in effect its often better to load up something small 90$ than something bigger 45%.

This also has to do with my belief that some people run tyre pressures that are too low.

skidrat on here put 145's on his 225 rims.

yeah im not sure whether im going to have trouble fitting 15X8's with 0 offset on my T-18

[alex.wilson]

Thanks Everyone

[marvis]

FFS.

Please don't tell me you are putting these on that t18?

[biggo]

Hah Marvis, i think he just did that?

[alex.wilson]

FFS.

Please don't tell me you are putting these on that t18?

why is that?

[blair]

cause they need 13's or 14's. and soemthing genuine oldschool/jap.

im not usually a hater of sportmax/china/america/shit wheels

but t-18's have that definitive 80's shape about them that really really needs the wheels to suit.

otherwise it looks intensely tacky.

i.e. i would rather sacrifice size/offset for decent style :)

Yes, they're sportmax copies but they're cheap. And cheap is good, because I have no money.
