I want to know the pros and cons of stretching a tire ''on a pair of wheels. I want to go thinner ''on a set of wheels but wanted to get some feedback .

Talk to naj155 or PraiseTheLowered. I think they're fairly experienced at scretching tires on a nice pair of wheels.

Is it worth it? Do you pick up more action with those thin tires?

I've had a stretch like yours on all my cars except this one but i see some of my friends with a sexy stretch and I'm tempted. I rolled my fenders and will probably do a wide tire just to surprise people who dont believe it could be done.

since the car is an Xi stretching will be complicated, since rolling diameters tire sizes need to be calculated
im running 245/35/19F 19x9 275/30/19R 19x10
cons obviously will be wheel lip prone to damage, jersey and ny roads are just horrible
