Yikes, that's an accident waiting to happen during pothole / construction season :ph34r:

i think stretched looks bad ass
stop living on 225 wide tires and get on the bandwagon :P
If you're an attention whore, I guess that's the style of tire you'd want. If you want any amount of survivability out of it, don't run your rubber like that.
If you're an individual, it's all about whatever you choose to do. If you're a lemming, it's all about whatever some "phat" industry / rap / "scene" mogul tells you is fresh and now.
In that case, it's all about Escapes running oversize tires and I'll be happy to sell you mine at a small premium. Be the first on your block, yo!
Stretch is the way to go, hands down. I had them on my S4 and i want to put them on my audi cabrio. And that focus looks bad ass, kit and wheels, it all looks good, sweet package no doubt.
Jury's still out on my verdict.
Once again its the younger guys that understand where im coming from: imncrxtc, NikiterZTS and GFXjamie
Stretched rubber looks ghey.

You're hitting 30, that's grandpa haha
stretched tires look badass on a nice deep dish euro rim, but it's not practical for daily driving on the s*** roads of the G.T.A. let alone southern ontario as a whole. It's already a headache to ride lowered on coilovers, I could imagine coilovers and stretched tires. :blink:

Yeah, that why I'm leery of lowering my car (The Fusion Steeda springs lower the car 1.4" inches, when I lowered the Focus at the time, I used the SVT kit and only went down .75" but I could still feel the worst roads through my skull :ph34r:)

I say go for it Daniel. You would be one of very few if not the only in the GTA with a dropped AWD Fusion, and it would look killer. I am sure you wouldn't notice the difference in ride with the stability and weight of the AWD. But with the current condition of the roads in the area it doesn't matter what you have you still feel all the s#!tty potholes.

lol drewski is right here. altho it also depends on taste i guess or whether you like the euro look. eitherway, that focus with those sexy wheels and dope styling have won me over on the new 08-09 focus. the simplicity of the look they achieved is just nuts. Props to Focus Sport and their young minds :P
