I assume you mean widened wheels. Here are a few links to get you started. Do a search under widened wheels and that will tell youu everything you need to know.

Or is he talking about stretched tires, that seems to be a new fad going around (for some unknown reason!).

Personally i think it looks like you didnt take the time to research what tires actually fit your rims. Not to mention its not safe.

Don't Like it? Suggit.

Ooooh, widened wheels. LOL.
I came in here looking to see some new procedure for "stretching" wheels Anyway, I'm considering having mine widened sometime down the road. It's only "dangerous" if the shop you choose is incompetent. Choose carefully.

No Revo, he meant stretching the tire. Which means to put a smaller tire on a wider wheel.

I'm not totally useless..

And we all know that is not a smart nor safe idea, yes?

Nothing has happened to either of my friend's cars or them. So I guess it is safe. On the other hand, Check out Stance Nation or State of Stance to see what the exaggerated look of a stretched tire is. Now that is too severe and dangerous. |

People are free to do it if they want, but we aren't going to advertise improper tires as being safe. It's just not.

Now you're obviously going onto a different subject. Obviously when you stretch the tire and are running more aggressive camber then the tires are going to get bald faster. Assuming that people are not that stupid, they will change their tires every so often. Other than that, yes it is safe. |

Even this is not infallible and continued running while under-inflated (or other duress) will cause the tire to separate from the wheel and go flat. Now factor in this "stretched" installation which constantly pulls the tire away from the sealing edge of the rim and tries to pull the tire up and over the safety lip and you have a setup which in most eyes would be considered UNSAFE.
