gavlar1200 0 Posted January 13, 2012 I've been bought some Porsche Teledials for my Lupo GTI. Now, they are 15 x 7j and I'm thinking of putting 165/50/15 tyres on them because I really like a little bit of stretch. Euro stylee What is your professional opinion on stretching tyres? I've known people put stupidly stretched tyres on their cars and report no problems, I just wanted to ask for your thoughts... Or anyone else in the know.Thanks for your time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
