255's on the stock MR BBS' for me.

Back on topic, stretched tires ftw yo.

Subarus are known for running stretched tires on wider and more aggressive wheels. You know why?! It's cuz they can't run such wide wheels/tires or aggressive offsets without rubbing. They have HORRIBLE offsets; reason being why A LOT of them run stretched tires.

I thought I had mistakenly pulled up vortex with all the talk of stretched hella tyte looks. Like someone posted before, it's real cool until your bead pulls out when you're cornering a little too quick. A little stupid to go for a look that actually detracts from your car's performance.

I will find a subaru on that forum with stretched tires.

trust me.

EDIT:http://www.iwsti.com/forums/gd-tires...nt-thread.html

While there is guys in this thread with fitted tires, there is also stretched tired subarus.

I think the first thing that comes to mind when stretched tires are brought up, are the rediculous stretches. 195's, 215' on 8, 9, or even 9.5" wheels. That is just stupid. But the streth i think the op is referring to is not bad at all.

here is my 1g on 17x9 rpf1's. I have 235/40's on them. I dont really consider it stretched, although some will criticize me for it.

omg you must have a doctorate in wheel setups to figure that out...! don't you think we know having stretched tires doesn't perform as well as properly fitted tires? were not in the 4th grade and not as immature as you making stupid comments... we know what we are doing to our cars and we don't give a **** what you think... not all of us track the crap out of our cars... keep modding your car how you want and we'll do the same. k thanks bye.
