Project, 92 Honda Civic Hatchback
New to this forum. But I wanna show something I've been working on.
Picked up a '92 Honda Civic Hatchback late August of 2011. It's been about 6 months, so far, so good.

Mounted the tires on the rims today, never have I seen so much stretch on one wheel. Rolled my fenders, and mounted the wheels on the car and I gotta say, it looks dope.

I live in a pretty safe neighborhood, and I never drive anywhere with the car unless I can keep a good eye on it, haha but I'm planning to get it right after I fix the suspension since the car won't be able to make it up the driveway anymore. But I definitely need it when I get the paint job. And thanks, I will!
Finally updates!!!!
Hatch looks super clean, I love the diamond wheels & that stretch! Props on this build! Glad to see your riding on stretch tyres rather than hating on them!!
How does the car ride?

Thanks! The ride is great, slamming it this weekend so I will be posting pictures Monday afternoon.
I'll take that chance.

I don't think you realize this but you're endangering the lives of other people walking or driving around you. I also don't think you realize how or why it's dangerous, with tires stretched that bad you run a pretty good chance of having a blowout, most people get that, but if you're running a lot of negative camber you're basically running on the sidewall, which besides making it even more likely that you'll have a blowout, it also means you have very little traction, even on dry pavement. This is one trend I wish would just die.
Bro chill out this a cruiser not a racer, & im pretty sure anhybody that is rolling on stretchd tyres knows that & takes that into consideration.. i understand if your hitting top speeds your destined to blow out that tire, but when you cruising you have the same % as any body else out on the road of blowing a tire..
correct me if im wrong?

You're about as wrong as you could be. The only way that car would be considered "safe", is if it were completely stationary. Even then, I wouldn't let it rest that way on the tires long, because it'd probably deform the sidewall of the tires.
If you're driving it all it's still unsafe.

hahahaha. i guess we can argue for days but when it comes down to it cars are considered dangerous machines too but we still drive them...
