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.
