isnt that just a waste of 888's?
im not being a hater i like stretch but not that much
Stretch is always a great divider of opinion
This is a fair bit more extreme than normal, but we aim to please, customer asked if we could, so we accepted the challenge
Personally think that is too much stretch. Is there a purpose to strectching other than its looks?
Cheers Aj
They do look mad but I've seen more extreme stretch than that!

I would've thought R888s have fairly stiff sidewalls as it is
175/70/14 on a 10j is the way to go

Whats the chance of going round a corner too fast and you rolling on the edge of the rim?

yer but hit a pot hole and its say hello to nice chunk out the rim edge
I have to agree. A little stretch can look good. Too much though it it just looks daft. Just buy thinner wheels if you can't afford tyres that fit
I thought the whole purpose of wider wheels was to fit wider tyres so as to get more traction! At least thats why I want wider wheels!
Wider tyres change the profile of the contact patch, but usually not the actual size of it if the tyre pressure remains the same
These were done at the request of a customer, mainly for the look. He needed them in a hurry, R888s were all we could get quickly, like same day, in that size, and he thought it sounded like a good plan
If I get some pictures of them on the car I'll share them
