Don't bother. 13's won't clear the brakes.

I live in Iowa, bro. The car isn't prepped for spring and summer driving. I have coils on order...this was simply fitment on stock suspension to check if the tire stretch was correct and if I'm going to go with 11's in the rear.

Not that I don't like stretched tires, because to run certain setups that just needs to be done, but damn that's a lot of stretch! Too rich for my blood, lol.

With that far of a stretch, sometimes I really wonder how the tire doesn't just fly off the rim when going around a sharp corner.

That's a pretty crazy stretch, seems like it must be bordering on unsafe. Then again, I'm no tire expert.
