    You stretch them by putting tires that are too small on the rims

    OK, I kind off figured that one. :facepalm:
    What would the spec have to be on the tire? - So what I mean is, would it only be the width of the tire that is different, the rim size and wall height stays the same?
    So I could use a 175/65R15 instead of the standard 195/65R15?? Y/N?

    what is a good difference to use to be streched?
    What is the Max you should go?
    What is the Max you can go?
    What are the complications of doing it?
    Is it good to do it for racing?
    Is it better to do it for racing, as Drifters seem to do it a lot?

    Can you do the oppisite? ie. place a tire on a smaller wheel it was made for?

    Maybe all this has been discussed somewhere, where I cant find it and there is a link of some sort?

    There are pros and cons to both too small and too big tires.

    Not any positives, really. I wouldn't consider those tires stretched so much though, they look alright to me. It's the hella stretched tires that are just retarded.

    The only benefit to a slight stretch is to fit them in the wheel wells

    Thanks for the feedback! :D

    Never thought of using the Camry TRD spoiler to be honest. I actually really like the one I have now :)

    As for stretching tires, the stretch on mine is very minor. Some people stretch 175's onto an 8" rim and it looks ridiculous. I saw a 205 on an 8" and it looks boring, defeats the whole purpose of having such a big dish because, in my opinion, it takes away from the look. There are no real benefits aside from looks, and you can generally gain more clearance under your fenders with a slightly narrower tire.


    I went for a bit of a photoshoot a few hours ago. Been really enjoying these wheels since I got them a couple of days ago so thought I'd take some decent photos:
