If my tires stretch, is that bad?
I just bought VMR Vb3's (18 inch) and was trying to dismount my old stock RFT from my OEM 189s to my new VMR's. I hear that the tires will stretch, but it should work, is this something I should be advised not to do or will it be okay?

some will
say badass or some will say dumbass when streching RFT, only thing to be concern with is weaken the side walls. which is the purpose for RFT - strong side walls. U'll be losing RFT functionality for looks.

its not going to be very comfortable to roll on, RFT's ride bad in general. Once you stretch them, its all over then. Your better off getting cheap 18" tires IMO.
