I was talking to one of my friends who is building up his porsche 951 (should be up to about 300whp) He said when talking to some guys, that by getting tires that were not as wide as the wheels, and "stretching" them to fit, it creates a diagnal sidewall. basically, i think he has 225s on 8 inch wheels, and 275s on 10 inch wheels. Looking at the tires on the wheels, you can obviously see the sidewall is at about a 60 degree angle instead of a 90 that would be "flat". He said that the people he talked to recommended this, because it doesn't allow any flex in the sidwall, and creates a much tighter handling car. I'm still a little skeptical... anyone shed some light on this?
