hey guys...so am considering mounting some 175's on my gsr blades...i currently have 195s but i want the hippari look and am about to dump it so i need all the tucking i can get....is this a bad idea?...i have never had stretched tires before so i don't know what the deal is..help and if this is retarded tell but don't flame

 

the search key is your friend

 

those are very thin tires, and the gsr blades offset is not agressive enough for you to have to stretch that far in order to dump your car, but if you want to try it for that look that you are trying to achieve then do it, post pics of the aftermath

 

function > fashion
205>195>175

What about...functional modifications that look good too?

 

stretched tires+shallow offset=meh

 

If you were on some different offset wheels that required stretching tires it would look ok... You would be better off getting 195 or 205's for your stock wheels and then save money for something aftermarket with an offset requiring a tire stretch if thats what you want... Personally I think stretching tires isn't the most performance oriented practice... Sure it will look pretty cool with your car dumped on the ground and tires cambered in, but how will it handle? Performance/Function &gt; *

 

stretched tires actually handle well.

i will agree with this...

185 might be better for you though..
