stretched tires

[Burstingbb]

Show truck - sure. Daily Driver - maybe, probably would ride like rocks. Towing - just a blow out or popping off the wheel waiting to happen

Spending as much for all 4 tires vs 1 wheel is ridiculous, especially when it downgrades actual overall functionality. Economy, braking, acceleration, handling, towing capacity, suspension/bearing/transmission all take a hit...

The aesthetics of sitting at a Walmart parking lot meet is worth it to a lot of people apparently by the amount of trucks I see on CO. YOLO

Stupid... Yes.. And I believe if you look at the responses here, most agree, the only ones that don't think it's stupid, are a couple brain cells away from being declared ********.
Personal experiance... Not in the fanboy sense that we are talking about here, but way back before it was another stipulated trend, yes, I'm my tire shop we had tried to fit **** in rims that should never be on there. There is a reason tire manufacturers listed a recommended rim width range for every tire. A couple of old coworkers with crushed and broken fingers from us trying to do something do stupid for a cheap ass redneck customer on a Saturday afternoon, will agree with me. Lessons learned the hard way.

Wow saying someone is a couple of brain cells away from being ******** over an opinion??? I thought snowflakes melted in the summer guess I was wrong. But thank you for your response in letting me know you dont have relevant experience in the question asked. Next.

This is great lol. One thing to remember. We are all lover of customization and trucks. The world is not vanilla and we don't all have to agree. Do whatever one wants to do and the **** with what anybody else thinks.

I will try to get shots of the one in my neighborhood today. While it looks different, it doesn't look unfunctional. Its the guys daily driver. Hell if i run into him i'll take pics and ask him some questions about it.

It will lose a lot of it’s functionality as a truck, and ride quality will be absolutely garbage.

I see trucks like this all the time around here (Houston area), on the concrete. As bad as our roads are, I would never drive around like that for fear of replacing wheels on a regular basis.

There is an “off road shop” in my town (Maxxed Performance in Baytown) that pretty much specializes in this sort of thing. The owner drives an F250 with 22-24” 14 wide wheels with ridiculous negative offset and rubber bands for tires. It looks atrocious and with my bad back, there’s no way I’d ever take a ride in it.

I see so many trucks and jeeps around town with the huge Maxxed decals on them, and they all have the same styling. Wide rims sticking out entirely too far (one truck just about completely filled a lane on the highway) and tiny rubber bands for tires. Knobby rubber bands, of course, lol

No snowflake here Heart of Ice. Not calling someone a few brain cells short of being ******** over and opinion over pure facts that it's a dangerous Act

Well since you won't get offended I'm going to offer my opinion ... This is just plain stupid on so many levels I'm not even sure where to start. Besides the fact that stretching the tire sidewall beyond 90 degrees perpendicular to the wheel is a bad thing, you also immediately void your manufacturers warranty. So if you have tire issues it's all on you. Your insurance will probably not cover you in an accident if it's deemed your fault, which of course makes you liable if someone gets hurt.

Simply inflating the tires is dangerous as a flammable propellant is used to get them on the wheel bead. Most tire shops will not touch them if you have a blowout or pressure loss causing the tire to pop off the the bead surface. And while were on tire pressure, you have to run them at way higher tire pressures since forcing the tire on too wide a wheel will cause a concave situation and the only cure is higher pressures. And of course higher pressures mean a crap ride due to high pressure and a jacked up short sidewall. And all of this is just asking for a blowout. I spent 15 years in the tire biz many years ago doing many custom setups and this is the absolute stupidest and most dangerous thing I've ever seen.

But like i said it's just my opinion, if your good with all that then go for it. Ironically I saw a new Silverado last night like that, raised at least 6-8 inches with stretched tires and he was taking a beating, truck was all over the place.

That's a very unique look aha. Don't see these type of builds in CA.

 

[wvmountaineer]

You're going to need a couple of awfully big fart cans to go with those tires and rims.

 

[buddy guy]

here's pics from the guy around the corner. i call this a mild stretch I suppose. Only one I've seen like it in redneck Alberta

 

[BrewCrew]

Wow that was alot of photos....

 

[Tim Garceau]

Yep, tow mirrors up and white sunglasses on the dash.

Monster or Whiteclaw hat?

more...

sorry. i kept tapping and didn't think it was doing anything. fixed. lol.

 

[rwhjr]

Ohhh lord. Stretched tires huh.

You going to run a huge negative camber too? Lol







On a more serious note....don’t Fn “stretch” tires on rims they don’t belong. There’s a reason they limit how wide the wheel should be for a given tire.

And the reason isn’t because they’re trying to prevent everyone from being as cool as you.
