you know whats funny, out of all my modded cars that ive done this style with ive never rashed any of them because of a stretched look
in fact all the wheels that i rashed up i had the proper sizes for full sidewall protection....and guess what? it didnt save the wheels at all, in any way
so i dunno what your problem is

Have you ever ran a stretched setup before? I've done what you are doing in the past when I was younger and learned from my mistakes. Trust me it is really easy to damage the lips of your wheels when they are stretched, there is nothing there to protect them at all. If you were rashing up wheels with full sidewalls you think this is not going to be worse?
All I'm saying is be super careful when driving, I ruined a lip from doing a u-turn to quickly even and you will have way more stretch then I did. It hurts to see an expensive wheel get damaged and my RH's probably cost half as much as your wheels.

First of all I don't have a problem, just having a little fun I like it when you get worked up it's amusing.

first of all, suck it
and yes ive done stretch before, theres only so careful that I can be and im not worried at all really. I drive differently than most people because im use to slammed cars so when i drive its more for relaxing that mashing the pedal down
i rashed wheels because of curbs

Also i just want to state that i appreciate anyone who has intelligent and informed comments on this style
what bugs me is the "OMGGAHZ YOU GUNNA DESTROYZ YOURZ RHIMS" shit that seems to be the first response of those who havent done this
not targeting anyone specifically, just making a general comment
i want opinions if they are well researched and informed but i could care less if you dont "get" or "like" the style

ya i feel that, i wanted to run 225/30 in the front but my shop said they didnt want to see that, that IF it could hold air it would be a miracle and there wouldnt be enough tire for it to bead so up to a 35 series we went
