hmmmnz Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 just curious, but why all the stretched tyres? is it just because of limited tyre sizes or is there some advantage over having wider tyres? ive seen it alot lately but don't understand it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 so you can fit wide wheels in/under the guards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixx Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I asked this question too, it gives a lower profile look stiffer side walls looks cool (sometimes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 its like a ferarri, if you have to ask the price then you cant afford it, in this case, if you dont get it, then youll never get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Wide wheels generally = large amount of dish. In this case you are limited in tyre choice for a 14" rim so not much choice but to stretch slightly. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
