anyone have pics of Toyo Proxes 4 or Yokohama Parada tires, stretched?
Ive got 235/35/19 Proxies 4 on a 19 x 8.5. That wouldnt be considered much of a stretch by this forums standards though. Ill take pictures if you'de like.
please take pics. i'm not just interested in stretched pics, but also interested in pics of the side wall and rim protector. i had toyo t1s before, and the sidewalls were really round. nice for that setup, but i'm looking for a square sidewall this time.
Ill get a close up picture at work tommorrow, my camera is in my toolbox. [IMG]http://www.theaao.com/pics/acura/IMG_1317.JPG[/IMG]

I had a friend that was complaining about how hard it was to stretch Toyo, as such I've never tried to, but if you guys say it can be done. . .
