So I bought Alex's (intensem1) OZ Futuras which are 17x8.75 and 17x9 and wanted to stretch some rubber over them, so I looked around and ended up buying some Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalins in 205/40 and 215/40.

Now the fronts were no problem stretching however the rears were a bit of fun; It took me 5 or 6 shops some of which were recomended to me for stretching and all but one said whith a smile, "yeh, ok, we'll try, leave them with us for the day and we'll mess around with'em". lol.

So heres what the rears looked like before actually fitting,




and the finished product:




and the "tame" fronts




ok, so not as extreme as Doms efforts with the space saver, but for something i'm going to run with, it's plenty! i couldnt go a smaller tyre as even this bead is like 3/4 on, lol, so no crazy street driving which in turn should slow me down

Cheers! . . . Alex

Nice one. Rims clean up nice, and stretch looks phat. NICE!

[Lorenz]

Nice work, love the strech and LOVE the wheels, so so so hot

Now hurry up and fit them to the damn car

Why wouldn't the shops fit the tyres? Once they are on the rim like in the first pic, get a can of Start-Ya-Bastard and a lighter and have fun popping fun!! Easiest way

Why wouldn't the shops fit the tyres?

I think it comes down to a question of legality and their potential liability (and their skillz)
