stretched tyres put stress on the sidewalls as they werent designed to do it, but some tyres are better for stretching than others

stretched tyres let you fit a wider/lower offset wheels.

ive ran 195/50/15 nankang ns-ii tyres on my simmons and they were 15x8, as far as i see i had no problems with them, but thats probably because it wasnt a ridiculous stretch, and at the end of the day it depends on how stretched the tyres are, how well the tyres are maintained and how sensible the driver is

you can go here to check out what your stretched tyre would look like http://www.tyrestretch.com/

if you do a quick google search theres a lot of threads out there arguing whether or not stretched tyres are safe or not and if they're legal or not

i got 195/45 on sportmaxx's 15x8 ... Ride quality are bloody awful. Even though you're on springs..

But good thing is, as lukey said above*^

drifters stretch tyres, and they dont drive sedately.

as long as you maintain it and check ur tyres pressures reguarly youll be good

and the pressures need to be a tad higher than normal when stretching

but isnt it moar risk of popping it when going over a pot hole at a high speed ?

[Lukey]

dodge potholes, and having it to low risks it coming off the bead when you got a big stretch

used to run 15'' og with 195/55r15 kumho ku31's

ran over a 10 cm pothole which i knew of by accident.

didnt sound very healthy, but came out no problem

<<<<< on that car

lol. people stretch tyres because there wheels are to wide. and if they ran a fat tyre it would not fit under guards.

so they go with a smaller tyre which will stretch the tyre to just sit under guards.
thats if your car is low. if your car is like high like 2 finger gap. and you have stretch tyre.

it will look silly. ive been in tyre business for about 4years now. and been stretching tyres for awhile.
and never had it poped off the bead. so im pretty sure its safe. thats my opinion

look at drifters. the drift on stretch tyres. and never seen tyre poped off rim.
unless they didnt fit the tyre on correctly.

and its illegal. you can be defected. tyre will be small for car. load rating will be wrong.
but if your guna run 195 50 15 should stretch alittle on 8inch rim. and should be fine.

195 45 15 will be stretching it abit.
