    60 series tire, too tall for a good looking stretch?

    My 15" rims will be widened by Eric Vaughn and I wanted to get your input (and pic request if available) for anyone running stretched 60 series tires. Since I'm still in the process of building my car and the motor still has to be broken in, I'm planning to reuse my 205 60 15's on the rims but of course I still want it to look cool . The rims will be 10.5 up front and 12.5 on the rear. I already looked at tyrestretch.com with no luck. Any input guys?
    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you...

    the 60 will allow you to stretch more and easier, but itll give it that bubbled used and abused butthole look, and you'll have next to no traction with any camber.

    I agree with BAHC. I purchased a set of rims which had 205/55/16's on a 9 inch wide rim and it looked like ass. Looked like I was riding on balloons. lol.

    Thanks for the input guys, The tires will go bye bye and will be replaced with 235 50 15 R888's which are my only option unless I go with truck tires (255 50's) which won't really offer much traction.
