Tyre Stretch - Impact On Performance?

Recommended Posts

Altho im not the biggest fan of tyre stretching, I can appreciate it when its done well!

Noclue - your looks crap! Looks like a half arsed attempt to me.. As Jorge said - its gotta be lowered a LOT more to pull off the look!

I reckon in its current state you've probably devalued your car by £800. :(

What's up with the reflection around your wheel arch? Is that a really bad arch rolling job or just coincidence that the reflection is so uneven?

So you've got a 10J on the back with a 225 tyre, and the fronts?

Also is this a 318 ? single exhaust suggests so, isn't 10J a bit excessive for a 318, more weight and all that.

I agree at the moment it doesn't look exactly right, might be just that it's too much or that the front needs to come down abit more than the rears. Silver isn't an easy colour to work with IMO either. Nice idea though, i've got nothing against trying stuff out.

It's not my car mate, looks like a bad rolling job to me though, didn't even notice until you said it!

my above comment was relating to the OPs 1.8 Loon, not the black one momo posted :P

I hadn't even noticed the mangled arch until mit's eagle eye clocked it!

Its two cars there, a ruined saloon and a ruined coupe.

I wonder what they did with the coupé's foglights!

Trust me tyres do not damage your arches as much as the above, my tyres used to smoke they rubbed that badly and it barely even touched the arch! That has to be a bodge job with a hammer or similar.

As for that silver BOS it just utterly rubbish!

I think you are being a little harsh, the only thing that has 'ruined' it is a set of wheels so far, (I know some of you mean that censored.gif in the link, but I mean the OPs car). Wheels could work, just needs lows.

love the comments guys. I feel like one of the family now.

Im going to make my car look like that link and then put e46zone stickers all over it, just so people know where I belong B)

I had a look at the kit, fibreglass make it lighter so my car will go faster right? Will make it easier to fit also i been told?
