Anyone Stretch? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Nothing wrong with stretching. Each application is different for sure (car), and what it is used for. Most cars are not racing on the street, and depending on engine power there is only so wide of a tire a car can use. Stretching is a good balance of running a flush aggressive wheel without running too wide of a tire.

Regardless, there are no real instances of beads popping off, or stretched tires being "unsafe". Maybe "not recommended", not "unsafe".

EDIT: I have a friend who has 225s stretched on 17 x 9 + 20 BBS RSs on an R32 GT-R Daily driven in southern california with no problems. It looks great.

I will see if i can get him to post on here to explain more.
