Yes, your right you could be wrong, but you're not.

To me it does look rediculous. It is unsafe and looks like garbage. The michelin commercials always say "Because so much is riding on your tires". Aren't they right? You have a $35,000-$40,000 dollar car riding on your "stretched" tires. Why would you be willing to drive your expensive car on unsafe tires just for a look?

Less contact = less traction
Less traction = less control

Too bad all the stretched wheels STILL have a larger contact patch than OEM.

Those things could barely fit. I had to cut my fenders twice, right up to the edge, then get a rear camber kit for more camber, but they still rubbed. After I adjusted the preloads on my coilovers, all the rubbing was gone! Well, no more 20" wheels for me, that's for sure. These belong on a G35, not a Z.








wheels are sick man...

+1. this is from my OP.
Remember, this thread isn't about whether you like the stretched tires or not, so don't bother.
any more of the BS and I'll just ask a mod to kindly delete the posts.
