spotted this on the japnortheast forum, a pic took of a car at the meet

 

THink it looks stupid the edge of rim like that!

 

pritty sure that must be illegal aswell.

when it goes past the wheel arch its illegal will not pass mot

more to the point is it safe!

That would be is he isnt using spacers... a 10J rim or higher, on a 225 Stretched tyre. My friends use to look kinda like that.. until they were stolen :/

Doesn't look like the tyre is fitted on the rim properly to me. Looks like the tyre is too narrow for the rim.

looks stupid to me

that is legal actually - rules state that the top edge of the tyre must not protrude the arch, hence why people stretch tyres.

would not pass mot in Norn Ireland :no:

the tyre bead does'nt even touch the wheel lip......how ****ing dumb is that.

looks pathetic imo..

Yes... It looks like is not the right tyre for the rim...

Like i keep saying, its a Stretched tyre, its the drift look, but he took it too dam far.....The reason drifters run stretched tyres is so that the side walls do not hit the arches when they run alot bigger Rims.

If streched like the one below i think ir looks good, but the one above just looks wrong lol

we all know about the Drift stretched look...but this is way beyond that.

 

The Bead must sit inside the lip.

wouldnt like to drift that

actually, isnt the streched tyre the euro look not drift, it was all the dub scene that started it???

wouldnt like to drift that

 

wouldn't like to drive that. if that tyre lip slips off the rim on the inside, hes going to be losing control. i wouldn't want to be anywhere near that when that happens.

that looks ridiculous - look like they belong to a monster truck or something!

surely he must have tubes in that to be able to inflate it!!?

Awful. Seen a more extreme stretch than that. The tyre walls are not designed to take those stresses either, so not just a fugly look, dangerous too!

Stella, your are right, it did start in Europe,

 

Paul

Here ya go. This is the one I've seen. The most extreme...and it's shit.

 

 

245 40 on a 12" wide wheel. Just gay.

 

:eek: i thought the first wheel pic was bad, whats the point?

:lol::lol::lol:

To be honest, it just looks like the owner cant afford the correct tyre size ergo it looks absolutly shit! I just dont see the appeal!
