Tyre Stretching!
Has anyone stretched a tyre on a normal VTR wheel? With something like 20mm Hub centric spacers and a stretched tyre do you think it will look good?

on a 6j wheel to get strech youll need a very thin tyre
the spacers you can push the rim out but imo from behind it looks odd seeing a thin wheen pushed right out to the edge of the arch
and stretvhig depending how far you go it can be a bit dodgy as there easier to pop off the rim
you need to run a higher pressure to hold it out

OK thanks! Might pick up a cheap thin tyre and stretch it to see what it looks like!

my friend fitted 20mm spacers all round and 195/45 tyres to a very low vtr, it worked really well, i think a stretch wud leave a big gap. if u do want a stretch then see if they do 165/45.14 prob the smallest they do.
