sedan owners

i dont see alot of sedans with the aggressive stretch tire look, i was wondering if you guys dont do it cause it might take away from the sporty look of our cars or just not your cup of tea?

personally i love the look but cant really get a good visual of it on a sedan since everyone looks for the flush finish with no poke.

How aggressive stretch do you want. Grant had 225 on a 9 inch rim. That was pretty stretched. Dont you have wheel already, put those bad boys on.

I like the flush look... When I first starting seeing stretched tires I seriously thought it was because someone got a good deal on tires that didn’t fit

Now I realize its a purposeful look... but its not my cup 'o tea... and I cant imagine performance handling is better (for a typical spirited/occasional track driven G)...
