This is off a Toyota Aristo, so it's going here, plus the deep-dish pretty much pre-empts the possibility of it being a j-bod...
Is this common to stretch an tire across a much wider rim? I mean, look at the tire, there's a rim protector strip, and it's bloody useless.
At lot of VW guys do that too.. I think it looks really stupid.

Seems to be a fad of the japanese as well
Just look at the previous threads of the crazy japanese cars with the wild body kit, oil coolers, and wild tail pipes

i dont think it looks bad, but in this case, i think they stretched it way too much
the rims on my audi are stretched, its a euro thing
Thats not just stretched, that f*cking unsafe. And stupid. And ugly.
I see VERY few cars like that... and ( I hate to go for a sterotype, but) there are all driven by the other-icans.... around my area anyway. A euro thing? I've never seen it done on a car worth more then 5k before.
(note: I saw 90% of these while I was in Miami... )
theres an audi with the stretched look. i see it occasionally on a lot of VW and Audis

You don't go for looks when it comes to tire size. You go with the best possible size for the wheel you are running, and that is obviously no where near right.

It's called VIP in Japan. The point is to get a large & deep dish wheel to just (and i mean JUST) tuck inside the wheel-well. Here is a link that explains it pretty well.
Why to stretch?

PS: some people just don't do it for the reason it started.

i wonder how they force it to stretch like that? i've seen the stretched look before, but that's beyond stretched.

if somebody came into my shop wanting this, i would gladly smack the hell out of them with a tire iron. and by seeing these pictures it makes my insurance provider cringe.
There's a difference: VIP when applied to a lot of these cars used to mean understated and smooth rides... this is just outlandish.
As far as getting the tuck: roll the inside of the fenders.... you won't have to worry as much about curb rash, or f**king up the fender.
VIP used to be cool about 3 years ago (Remember Junction Produce's kits? they aren't conducive to having 4' pipes out the ass-end of the car), now it's just as farcical as the rest of the Japanese Auto-fads.
im not reading through all that so if someone already said this sue me:
it comes from europe where they had some regulation on your tire width, so people would take big rims and put small tires on them thus causing that stretched tire effect.
idk whether or not its still a law over there, or even where, but its retarded none the less
