Getting that stretched look with a stock rim?
I did the searches and read all the + and - behind changing the tire sizes... but, is it possible/feasible to get a tire that will have the stretched look on a stock 16" rim without drastically effecting the speed-o??? maybe just a size that would give that look a little bit??
I was thinking maybe just a 195/55 instead of 205/55... thoughts?

To each their own...
but to me, decreasing the performance of your car is never a good idea. Please be careful if you decide to do so as it would be terrible if you hurt yourself or someone else.

If you want a more aggressive look, get 225/50 16s.
Don't reduce the sidewall while maintaining the same size rim. It will look odd and will throw off your speedo.

Re: wow.
every single one of those replies was seriously cocky as ****... but nonetheless, thanks for the input. i had assumed it would be a bad idea aswell, just never knew for sure.
i will probably just replace them with the current size... 225/50/16... thanks again, i think.
