When it comes down to it...
It just depends on what "style" your going for...In other words, its all just a matter of opinion and personal style.
On that 240, stretch was the way to go to obviously accommodate those massively wide wheels but also to fit the fenders nicely, and of course the amount its been lowered I'm sure it prevents it from scratching or making contact.
BTW, That is one sick 240!!

It looks to wide? Shut up! Why did you buy an 11 inch rim if you were conserned about how wide the tires were going to look? Buy an 8 inch rim with a huge offset and put the correct tire on it or does that look to wide as well? Get a bicycle tire if you want thin.

The correct size should be 295/30/19 depending on the size of the rim (i used 19).

The current sport compact car mag has a little bit on stretched tires. it's on the first section where people mail in their questions to the staff. very comprehensive answer, but the answer is geared towards drifting and having stretched tires actually makes more sense for what they do.
