Stretched Tires - Post up your pics

I have been considering going this route on my fit, but I was first wanting to check with the gods here first. For those of you running stretched tires on your fits, what size rims are you using, what is the offset & what is your tire size? Thanx.

id like to see some as well.

i would think that you would have to be really low with some wide or spaced out wheels to complete the stretch/poke look.

Yes your ride quailty will be much worse and the safety of your rims will be in danger since youre more prone to bubbles in your tire along with bending and cubring your rims. Drifters mainly do this so that way there is no tire flex and VIP cars in order to have their cars slammed with the rims flushed with the car. Things you gotta sacrifice to make your car look good

Thanks for the photos. Some of the most ignorant setups I have ever seen on a vehicle. Would like a nice profile shot so we can show people what a Fit griocery cart looks like.

I see a lot of those VW with crazy suspension and stretched tires over here, but these pictures are insane. Not my cup of tea though and I also think it's unsafe. I don't think that looks good on a Fit.
