Maybe a bit of a dramatic title...

There was an awesome little strech calculator made by some Belgian Dudes but the hosting seems to have died on it's arse...

Luckily Ryan/Stanton/Jesus saved it on the work PC, and I just stumbled accross is so thought I'd re-host it for you 'oribble lot!

peace out, and happy stretching!

Its good for comparison but i think it normaly shows stuff less stretched than they will look in reality

I keep meaning to make a web-based version of it.

205/40 on a 9.5x16 doesn't even look that stretched on there? hhmm

Yeah, The equation needs some tweaking. It might make sense technically, but reality stuff has a lot more stretch.

i never use it to see what stretch will look like, it's always way out.

however, when you're playing about with known and unknown wheel setups then it gives you a pretty good idea of whether it will or won't fit.

That looks kind of cool, if only it was in English then I could use it.

its prity straight forward to use...

original tyre size on the left.

new tyre size on the right.

simple.

im thinking a 135/45/14 on a 6" wide p slot would be good! just have to find that size tyre now!

i can find a 135/80 for around Â£20 but its a temp tyre. which isnt ideal!
