Another pic from Inters. I assume this car has air-ride to sit so low, but I've never seen tyres so stretched. Would it be safe to drive with them like that? Are they actually legal like that?
What is the preoccupation with size, stretch etc??? Is it just a challenge to go as far as you can, just because you can. Like supersize breast implants, it is physically possible... still looks ridiculous and they have inevitable handling problems too. FFS
my not mod the body till they fit with proper tyres on? like someone attempting the 100m sprint in ice skates or something, just WRONG and as for "SHOW", what does it show apart from a big misunderstanding of how tyres work. just paint "I have no idea about cars really" in big feck off letters on it FTW
People do 16v's on carbs purely for show. Some people have too much money to do these things just for looks
is it a PS ? just the back tyre looks odd, how it manages to be reflecting the sun from UNDER the wheel arch? yet the reflection does not continue up the arch lip as youd expect. nasty jagged crop round the wheel arch too
It stems from the VW scene in Germany and their attempts to get around the TuV regulations. Basically, the TuV says that you cannot have tyres of a different size/width than the manufacturer supplied ones unless they wheels and tyres pass Tuv Regs. Thus, they fitted whatever wheels they liked but stretched the OEM tyres onto them to still pass the yearly test. How come people on a massive VW forum dont know this? Anyway, regardless of how it came about its cack, and dangerous.
Not Photoshopped - it's an unfettled photo, other than cropped. I think the light is reflected from the chrome. Here's another pic, closer up
you were answering a question that no one asked it is utterly pony though a slight stretch can look ok, but i it when you take a wheel off a car with a stretched tyre, put it against a wall the the wheel clangs against the bricks lol
