Thank you EvoPooPoo, someone else here knows you will not die running stretched tires.
I'm not saying it's going to give you good launches for drag racing, and the tire Rack certainly would never recommend it, and only euro or Mexican shops will mount them for you, using special techniques and/or tools, but it has been and is still quite common.
Everyone stop acting like he is definitely going to crash and die if he runs them, especially if you have no first hand experience with this.
Bottom line: While it is backwards to some extent to compromise your tires just for certain wheels, yes, you can get away with this just fine. I think you'll dig the looks but hate everything else about it.
Have a nice day
