As far as tire stretching goes I will simply say impractical for a street vehicle IMO. Why sacrifice real performance for this appearance or to be able to slide an underpowered car? Stretching a tire beyond it's limits is unsafe, a lot of tire shops will not do this for that reason alone. The fact that you would be raising the wear on suspension pieces, wheel bearings & the tires themselves is a reason in itself not to follow this style. I have to agree that if you can't fit a wheel with the tire manufactures suggested sizes, then it's not correct. Running a 215/45-17 on a 17"x10" wheels, with the rim exposed is asking for trouble. This just my view, so if tire stretching is your thing fine just don't impose this trend on others as being the right way to fit wheels & tires.
