its been done a lot. Its a kinda drift style thing. To get stretched tires so they can go as low as they can go.

^^ yea not only are they ugly looking, youll ride like ****, and risk a blow out eveytime you hit something. buddy had stretched tires, bent two rims, then hit a pot hole or something on the high way at about 70 going around a corner and put it into the wall and totaled the car.

yea hes fine, walked away a little shook up and a small cut on his arm.... for how bad the car is he lucky that all he got....

i just have some 14s on it now with falken 185 65s on it, but this is only for now, i bought them when i had no plans to mod the car and now i have lowerd it and the tires are just simply to big. it looks ok, but would be better with some works and 195-55-15s or 205s.
