I think the stretch tire look only runs well on meaty tires. I understand you like the look, but it's not very nice to leave the lip so exposed on such nice wheels. Be careful of the curbs!

At that time, VW attracted enthusiast pilots who drove the cars, because they offered an almost unprecedented combination of handling, sporting refinement, and an overall driving experience relative to their cost. Then, about 10 years ago, something changed in the culture. Stretched tires, ridiculous drops that killed the cars' respective suspension geometries, wider wheels/tires on the back of a FTW car, etc came into vogue. The cars went from an enthusiast pilots' entry-level sporting machines to caricatures of their former selves.
