stretched stock frs tires on aftermarket wheels - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It's done. I need to let the springs settle a bit then I will lower it more. Pics coming by the weekend.

Here are some pics. I still want to lower the car more but I figure I should let the coils break in more before I start wrenching.... Again.
I already dropped it from its initial height after install. I also want to add some front camber.
By the way... I probably will not stick with the 17's for longer than six months. They look ok. Not great. And I probably won't stretch as much next time either.
But here ya go.

I slightly stretched mine on 7.5" width Enkei Fujins...main impetus was saving money and getting the unsprung weight down for better ride quality but the slight increase in responsiveness due to the stretch was also nice.

Juvenile · 12-28-2013, 06:52 PM

They look better on 7.5" over 7" I love em on the STi wheel as well .... Nice work

I stretched my oe tires over an 8" wheel and almost barfed when I saw it. No way. Looks awful. Get a 225 tire for 8"

IMHO stretched stock tires make the tires look even skinnier. No thanks.

Tromatic · 12-29-2013, 06:01 PM

Don't forget a big-ass wing to complete the look.

When I buy my new Nexus 5 I'm going to crack the screen on day one.

I like that rugged look.

Ohhhh yea!

jamesm · 12-30-2013, 09:07 PM

that honestly just looks like you didn't know the proper size tires to buy. i don't see how having ill-fitting tires could be taken as aesthetically pleasing.

GThomas86 · 01-26-2016, 07:01 PM

what offset are those xxrs. are you on springs? or coils?

ollie · 01-26-2016, 07:28 PM

Just a side not, will you be covered by your insurance company if you are in an accident? Here in the land of Oz you will not be covered as its out of the tyre specs.
