Not to hard, give it a shot bro!

[Mrk_Mickey]

He makes it look so easy I reckon haha...

does it damage the wheel at all?

[team_v]

Maybe try this one to be safer.

Never heard of the deoderant method until now.
Seems simple enough but could be dangerous and possibly damage the inside of the tyre and make it unusable.

If you used a burning rag on the end of a broomstick i guess it would be okay.
They also seem to use brake cleaner in teh videos, must be able to burn more easily after spraying

[Preen59]

Yes, they do understeer, but pretty much all tyres do.

I'm sorry, but what?!

Tyres don't understeer. Tyres vary in grip levels and reactivity.. But they don't understeer or oversteer. If you put a set of tyres on your car and it understeers, it was imbalanced in the beginning and the new tyres aren't as good, meaning you have found the limit at less of a speed than you did previously.

I know what I said may not have technically been correct, but my point was that they aren't sh*t tyres with no grip with a 'lower limit' of grip if you will.

[Golf Houso]

Nice one Mickey, can you give us a ballpark figure of what you paid for them?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Well, it was less than 2k.

tyre stretching at home is hard. My deodorant is just burning and not making the tyre blow up haha.

[Jarred]

i think you need to use something slightly more powerful than deo bro! lols

[team_v]

I agree with Jarred.

Most people online are using brake cleaner but some are using WD40 or hairspray.

Deoderant will just evapourate too quickly i think.

[AusScare]

I personally would be taking it to a tyre shop lol...

Another vid for kicks.

[peedman]

Lighter fluid dude!!!!

[Mrk_Mickey]

would zippo fluid work if i just squeeze it in? lol

[jayjay]

hahaha. nope.

deoderant itself isn't flamable. it's the propellant (compressed hydrocarbon) that is.

if you just spray it in there, it wont actually explode (combust) because the majority of the flammable gas has diffused into the surrounding air.

if you're actually game, and whilst i dont condone any of this because it's quite dangerous...

take the top off a deoderant can and attach it to a portable gas butane can. that will boom...

[Mrk_Mickey]

Yeah I think I will have to try butane if nothing else has worked.

But...I'm going to get a tyre shop to do it because I'm not game on wrecking these wheels. Anyone got a contact for around/in the west ryde area on a tyre fitter that will stretch?

[KI11Z]

Fark look at that just like the wheels I was saying I was going to buy 3 months ago

Gotta put your pointless 2c in dont you steve just say they look fkn awsome Mike! Way to go

whats so bad about NS2's?! . . .

everything . . . unless the only driving you do is for the weekly groceries . . .


Mike, I had all sorts of troubles finding a place to stretch 215/40's on a 9! try jdm drift workshops/panel shops perhaps . . . btw rims look hella flush mate
