Les Schwab.
And I think you're confusing two different things. For the tire to cover more lip on the rim you need a wider tire. You can't stretch a 205 to cover the same space as a 215. Stretching a tire is actually the inverse of what you're trying to achieve. People put a 205 tire on a 8" rim, and the sidewall is stretched to fit bead to bead. So if you want the tire to cover your rim, you need to buy wider tires. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
