why do u want to run stretched tyres? is the offset that low? or do u wanna lower ur car as much as u can without rubbing?

Its going to expose the lips of ur rims. if u touch the curb then bam a curb rash.

thanks for the replies at midnight.. didnt expect toget that many replies lol
thanks EKVTIR-T.. thats all i needed to know but you're 100% positive right ?

the reason i want to stretch tyres is because i have spare 195/55's at home
and new wheels are coming.. was wondering if i could use those spare tyres for a while..

yes the car will be lowered and i dont wanan scrub either.. thanks sir_vtec

it doesnt look stretched, its just look like a donut, because the profile is 55.

it will fit. Just not too safe ( for grip , NOT fittment)
