stretched tires

[Ohio5pt7]

anyone with experience running 14 wides with a 12.5 tire? mostly looking for experience with a 24x14 with a 33x12.5. I get it's not everyone's cup of tea but looking for real world xp. how is towing with this set up? I know they now make a 33x14.5r24 but at over 1k difference in price I'd like to keep the options open. Also haters welcome to chime in on how stupid it is i promise I won't get offended lol.

There's a grey Ram in my neighborhood that has these. I didn't know what this was until you mentioned it here. Its not my thing but I think it looks pretty good for what it is. tires are out from the fenders a fair amount too. To me its a real "look at me' sort of thing. Not my deal. Check out this tyrestretch.com site talked about on below:

should be outlawed, and an automatic hefty fine for this extremely stupid and unsafe act

To each their own. Stupid nah. Unsafe maybe but do you have personal experience with it? Not starting a ******* match just curious if you have experience or if it's one of those well I read this one time a guys tire rolled off the rim.

Are you going to lower your truck and offset your camber too? Nothing hotter than a Ram with cocked rims sticking out of the wells about 3 inches.




Sarcasm.

It's you truck. I wouldn't ask i'll just do it then show the pictures and call it a day.
If you have to ask you're going to get a lot negative comments. Not my cup of tea either but again it's your truck so whatever we think of it shouldn't matter that much to you. My only recommendation for you will be to run your ideas with a reputable tire shop prob one that do setups like the ones you're looking for so you'll know what to expect. It's a heavy truck and not a small BMW M3

These can not be serious questions

You probably won’t get any real world experience answers because nobody’s been dumb enough to do it. Stuff like this is the reason there are warning labels on everything.

If you dont think it's done you've never been to sema, Daytona truck week or pretty much any show.its done all of the time infact you can go to custom offsets and there are 1000s with this set up on all types of trucks but unfortunately no way to ask on that site.

Personally I like the look i didn't ask for opinions though I knew they would be given. I simply asked if anyone has ran the set up

How does it tow? Might have to ask the tow truck driver when he pulls your **** home. You see stretched tire on show trucks or **** boy trucks. Anyone that uses their trucks for a real purpose will never do that silly ****. Might as well trade your truck in for a honda lol

It is your truck and your money, when I look at those all I see is a trailer queen.
I would definitely be afraid to tow with those, I would expect that they have to be inflated
almost or even past the sidewall max pressure rating to get a flat footprint.
Also a pothole is going to love chewing on the sidewalls especially with trailer adding weight to the rear.
Just my 2 cents and almost worth it.

I get you want 14's, but I think you should reconsider the tire width

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.
