Cars that made me love stretch and poke.

[Digitalwave]

The main inspiration was TJ. He was the one I was talking to when I got in to it. I think we sorta helped each other in to the game.

We used to spend hours on AIM talking about offsets and tire sizes. Those were the days! Haha. We seemed to nail the fitments with our calculations.

And thanks Ollie!

I think I've loved stanced cars ever since I first saw wheels sitting flush in the fenders in a few german modiying magazines back in the 90ies when I was just a kid.

My very good friend Paul was the one that tried it first out of my friends. After that, skies the limit.

I can say without a doubt in my mind, paul has the nicest e36 on the boards

[SeanDub]

I cant say this got into stretch as I was already in love with stretch at the time. But what a fuckin inspiration.

[Richard_Gud.]

well as some as you know, I still have a subaru. So obviously a subaru had to do it for me, and this, this did it.



Sedan front fenders, sedan front bumper, insane pull in the rear, and the first wagon to ever rock 10 inch wide wheels.

It was a picture of a pair of Euro E30s sitting next to each other. One blue, one dark red. I can't find the picture, but that's the one that comes to mind.

I i'm starting to fall in love with the e36 m3

[RedE46Bimmer]

All of Mike's cars and Sean's E36 also got me into stance. Oh and IM's(M3NoDRFT) E46 :drool: So thanks guys!

I started riding bikes with the guy who owns this:


Then another friend bought a MK3 jetta that we lowered. I've been a goner ever since.

[Rtistik]

Without a doubt it'd be KarlSpackler....so much so that I now own his wheels

[s4cr]

As i already said i blame Mike, Sean, Ollie and Austin for this.
Thanks, guys

Here in Norway the stretch and poke thing has been around on all kind of german cars since the '80s. It's always been know here as german-stance. Since in germany you can (/could? help me out here dr.ak) have the wheels sticking out as much as you like as long as the tire tread was insode the outer point of the arch. This is illegal in Norway, which makes it all the more cool. And it usually meant the car would be lowered more front than rear. But what really got me into it was when I bought the M3 E30 SE. It came with 9x16 et08 RS075s that did stick out quite a bit. And with 215/225-45 16 tires it looked sweet, if a little small.
Though I've never taken it to an extreme I plan on doing so with the e28. Working on building my own 9/9.5 and 10-11 x16" RS wheels. And no more than 225 tires at the back
