What would be the tire size for a good looking stretch? thanks M62pwrdE38 05-30-2008, 11:51 PM Good looking stretch is an oxy-moron. But if you really have to have it, you will likely want something like a 195/40. That rim isn't that wide and there aren't too many tire sizes that will look that stretched, a 195 or 205 is all that is really available in tires that will look bad on your wheel (whoops, I mean stretched). asuj158 05-31-2008, 12:13 AM awww damn your mean M62pwrdE38 05-31-2008, 12:15 AM Yeah I know, sorry. To each their own, if you like stretched tires then go for it; I guess I just don't understand the attraction to them. asuj158 05-31-2008, 12:58 AM they are just another variation to "distinguish" yourself BeastinM3 05-31-2008, 01:17 AM Whats the offset on the wheels? asuj158 05-31-2008, 01:25 AM Whats the offset on the wheels? shoot idk i just bought these http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1006045&highlight=LTW%27s says they are et41 BeastinM3 05-31-2008, 01:32 AM Those have a fine offset for an E36. No need to stretch asuj158 05-31-2008, 01:35 AM but the tires i want to stretch are cheaper than the regular tires:( im only 17... Roninleal 05-31-2008, 06:09 AM but the tires i want to stretch are cheaper than the regular tires im only 17... I would just wait for money then... If there's no use in streched tires then I wouldn't do it. GH41 05-31-2008, 06:48 AM "they are just another variation to "distinguish" yourself" You mean like wearing your pants half way down your butt crack?? GH fun2drive 05-31-2008, 11:06 AM With that offset you can use any 17" tire that is smaller width so no worries. I don't know what it would look like but hey it is your car so go for it... asuj158 05-31-2008, 12:32 PM "they are just another variation to "distinguish" yourself" You mean like wearing your pants half way down your butt crack?? GH Yes I I wear my pants like that every day:devillook... not SpasticDwarf 05-31-2008, 12:44 PM Ok, stretch looks good, but only on flush or poked wheels. 17x7.5 et41 is incredibly sunken. It will look like trash. 7.5 is too skinny to stretch on anyways unless you want to spend more on special sized tires. KarlSpackler 05-31-2008, 12:55 PM Agreed. Buy some 235/40/17 and call it a day BeastinM3 05-31-2008, 09:07 PM but the tires i want to stretch are cheaper than the regular tires:( im only 17... Thats not an excuse :) DGI07 05-31-2008, 10:28 PM hey now give the kid a break.....if he wants to runs around looking like a retard, thats his decision to make..... sorry kid but they r giving good advice... bmw325e30 05-31-2008, 10:33 PM Unless you have (relatively) low offset wheels, stretch will look dumb. |
