it's bending off the wheel. it's the farthest thing from stretch that's all.

look at the tire bulge at the bottom on-road surface

 

[Dar-Dar]

Yeah, I know. It is an overkill, but that car seemed to have beaten many cars (evo, WRX, MS3) in auto-x events and it only has HFP suspension and that set of rubber. Lol.

Is there any point in stretching tires because I think it just looks heinous

People do it to run wider wheels with lower offsets in an effort to avoid rubbing the fenders.

GUILTY of a heinous crime against tires. ha ha.

At the expense of serious curb damage? What good is a wider wheel if the contact patch isn't any wider plus you potentially sacrifice the reliability of the sidewall? This just seems like it's done for purely cosmetic reasons.

What is considered average pricing in buying tires and getting them stretched?

welltire shops will only stretch them so much because of liability reasons.

lets say you stay very modest and go 18x8.5, you can easily put a 215/40/18 on there like nothing (even cheapy chinese brand tires)

of course, tires can range from $80/each to like $300/each for better ones.

[webby]

you on springs/coils? Only options are more camber, raise it, less width on wheels.....
