Curb feelers......

Looks like someone could barely afford the wheels and made their left over tires fit.

In all reality, wouldn't a slight bump possibly break the seal on the tire? Beyond looking like crap I would think they would be an annoying PITA.

It's really sad, because this pic looks like the car would look sooo bad ass with these wheels the proper width/offset and proper tires.

Yup I did. Had to adjust the height once though. I was too low to get down my driveway at first.

You see stretched tires on cars at Hot Import Nights and other larger car shows where super low cars are the hot thing. People fail to realize that these cars are SHOW CARS ONLY and they never see anything other than the show floor and the trailers they stay on between shows.

There are other ways to adjust your wheels so that they don't hit your fenders. Getting rims with the correct offset is a big help. A stretched tire is a very bad thing. The sidewalls absord none of the impact from bumps in the street, and usually your rims are what takes up. I was in the import scene for awhile and guys with these stretched setups would usually buy 6 rims at a time when they got new rims because they would damage their rims so often. But hey it's your money.
