Just about everything Bobo hates about modding cars, in here:
 
Hard parkers.

~$8000 in wheels...and shitty *** stretched tires to go with it.
Its also supposedly a twin turbo - horsepower unknown to me, but it doesn't matter, its not like the rubber could even dream of handling it. Nevermind the air ride suspension.

Ugg, all so dumb to me. Why even bother putting the turbo kit on it? Just leave it stock HP, its not like the tires could handle it anyway...

CBRich 06-09-2009 10:17 AM

Yep, not a big fan of that either. Talk about some wheels that are destined to be curbed.

nogoodname 06-09-2009 10:18 AM

Let me find some pics of overly stretched tires. Doesn't even reach the lip.
So damn ugly

M.Bonanni 06-09-2009 10:21 AM

I can't stand super stretched tires either. Hopefully its just a fad, like spinners.

Sadly, I dont think its the case - I still see people doing it, and its been happening a long time. Long fad to still be running :(

No offense to the west coasters on here, but hard parkers seem quite prevalent out there...

Holy negative camber, batman!

Haha, one little bump in the road, and the front just mashes right into the flare...

Well I have to assume that when he's driving it, he lifts the air suspension up.

nogoodname 06-09-2009 11:02 AM

The rims actaully go inwards and up when hitting a bump. At first I thought major curb rash and fender rash....lol
I got a pic I saw where the rubber doesn't reach the lip, so the lip is hanging out alone....LOL

Side walls of the tires are bent up, isn't that a safety hazard?? And do they over pressure the tires to fit like that??

Many people argue that stretched tires are a safety hazard, but the proponents of it argue that theres hardly any proof that it will actually do anything.

Me, I can just take one look at the tires and with the understanding that tires aren't designed to flex like that, and know that its not particularly safe.

Try this video - I cant access youtube at work, but this was found on a quick google:

nogoodname 06-09-2009 12:11 PM

In the pic you posted. The walls are quite bent and it takes a good amount of pressure to do just that. Looks like a chopper's rear wheel, like a bubble.

And the sad part is, as you said in a previous post, its not even the most extreme incident of stretching we've seen, but the concept is same IMHO, and unsafe no matter what. Again, my opinion.

JB1 06-09-2009 12:24 PM

When I look at those pics I can only say: Why??
It's just wrong

nogoodname 06-09-2009 02:32 PM

here's the pic

No... just no.

molamann 06-09-2009 04:23 PM

It seems everyone here(including me) unanimously agree those are hideous, got me thinking if there's a forum out there where everyone unanimously agree those are AWESOME!

Someone needs to Photoshop the flares, and rims onto a 370Z!

AutoX Z 06-09-2009 05:55 PM

It's VIP YO the new hawtness!!

seriously though this needs to stop. There's like a 60 page thread on one of the 350z forums arguing about who has the most stretch and tuck, I pray those people don't work their way over here.

Shift 06-09-2009 06:40 PM

Yeah, when I used to check out that 350Z forum a lot I was starting to think I was the only one there who thought stretched tires look completely retarded.

CBRich 06-09-2009 08:15 PM

The picture with the ripped tire tells you everything you need to know.

2bits 06-09-2009 10:38 PM

This sounds like a good criteria to run someone out of the forum.

They can stay at 350z. Like stretch? :gtfo2:

snotrocket 06-09-2009 10:48 PM

they've been doing that in japan for a while now. some think its dumb others think of it as how aggressive of a wheel set up can i get on my car. i think it looks bad ***. not something for day to day driving.

KillerBee370 06-10-2009 01:44 AM

FUGLY!

And stretched tires are so 1980's mini truck GHETTO!

Don't do this!

tranceformer 06-10-2009 07:45 AM

How could you guys hate on that? It looks mad dope that way! I'd sacrifice all and any performance if it makes the car look that HOT. You guys are all crazy and have no sense of style at all.

Ha! Good one, tranceformer! (uh, right?)

nogoodname 06-10-2009 09:02 AM

Good catch. :tup:

There was a thread about this on my350z and I put my two cents in. I got a reply that was somewhat similar to the "joke" I posted.

CBRich 06-10-2009 09:11 AM

That G37 shows you how wheels and tires are supposed to fit together. The tire actually makes it to the edge of the wheel, what a thought.

nogoodname 06-10-2009 09:23 AM

^^ yup, me like the real deal way

semtex 06-10-2009 09:31 AM

Is that your G, nogood?

Edit: never mind. You're in Montreal. That G has a FL plate.

nogoodname 06-10-2009 10:04 AM

^^ lol....there's no snow around.....

KillerBee370 06-10-2009 10:17 AM

That G37S looks tight!
