Stretching Tires with Starting Fluid - 205/60R15 on 15x10 Wheel

[@TEAMTOYOTA85]

That is a drop dead gorgeous truck!!! Memories no doubt!

[@BCDriven]

Thanks! It's a super fun little truck. It doesn't look great when you get down to some of the details but it still turns some heads when we get it out lol

[@TEAMTOYOTA85]

@@BCDriven as it should! Haha nostalgia at its finest. Had dozens of these when I was growing up there so fun and everyone would always buy them from me for way more than I paid so always getting replacements back in the day. And you’re welcome.

Great looking truck man can't get over it and good video

[@BCDriven]

Thanks 👍 It's a fun little project, eventually we'll get it fixed up a little nicer but it's slow and steady.

[@jonathanmaxwell8183]

@@BCDriven I went and did the same exact stretch for my little s10 today looks pretty good now its time to slam it down and have fun doing all the small things like you said slow and steady will get her done

[@RogueAgentSniff]

Gonna do this to my widebody Lexus ES 300 tomorrow SO EXCITED

[@thepunisher3573]

Looks clean bro! I have a Nissan frontier dropped to. Been fighting with myself on tire size. Now i found the perfect fit looking at your ride

[@BCDriven]

Nice I still have my 00 fronty that was my first truck. It'll get some attention someday lol

@@BCDriven Lol i own to 98 Front's. Those babies are mine. Appreciate the vid! Gonna subscribe right now

[@BCDriven]

@@thepunisher3573 Thanks man, mines got some sentimental value so I'm kind of waiting to "do it right". It's just got drop spindles, torsion bars, and blocks and some aluminum wheels. I used to think it was "low" when I was in my teens, now I park the toyota next to it and it looks like a monster truck 🤣

[@thepunisher3573]

@@BCDriven haha i feel u man. In my late 40's but now i get to do to my rides now what i couldn't when i was young 😂. I got a 76 chevy squarebody shortbed i just dropped a year ago also. Gonna put a 400 in there with a 4speed. Should be done this Christmas hopefully

[@wanercruz5009]

Just what I wanted to see, am trying to run some 205/50r15 on some 15x10.5

[@adamcady9359]

Awesome! Ive taken a 255/70/15 to a few shops around here to mount on a 10x15 and they say the tire is to narrow!

[@nottoshabi779]

I have a question about your front alignment. How did you deal with the camber issue when you lowered the truck? With such wide tires and the truck being so low are you chewing your inner front tires?

[@BCDriven]

Yeah I mean there is some extra wear associated with the camber but I spent a lot of time with toe plates and got the toe dead nuts on and it really hasn't shown any shoulder wear. I also don't drive this but maybe 6-8,000 miles a year and rotate the tires and change the oil every spring so may be wearing to some extent but not bad enough to see it.

[@BCDriven]

Also I added additional camber shims (quite a few at that) to help not destroy the fenders as bad and correct the caster angle so it self centers the steering wheel better. If you had a less aggressive wheel you wouldn't have to add as much camber.

[@nottoshabi779]

What are toe plates?

[@BCDriven]

@nottoshabi779 These are the ones I have (basically the cheapest ones on amazon) amzn.to/3MxEnVc you put one plate on each wheel and measure across them on the front and back of the tire. If the front number is bigger than the back number you have toe out and will wear the inside shoulder of your tire, if the back number is bigger you have toe in and will wear the outside shoulder of the tire. These are more expensive sive but have a pic of using them on a red BMW amzn.to/3ODNsOX

[@jacobromeromaldonado143]

What exhaust are you running

[@BCDriven]

It's a long tube header, short glass pack under the cab, and a bed exit. Pretty much straight piped

[@Rami_kev86]

Do you still happen to have the Yota pickup

[@BCDriven]

Yeah it isn't going anywhere lol

[@Rami_kev86]

I’m glad you still do 😊

[@Rami_kev86]

Any more content on it

[@BCDriven]

I may do a short video of the Christmas parade, since we're dressing the truck up and putting it in, otherwise it's kind of on standby waiting until I have a shop to work on it in. The 22r is tired from all the long road trips (definitely not from the burnouts) and I want to swap something fuel injected into it for reliability/ more power. Also hoping to do IRS at some point down the road as well. When I get to that point I'll be posting much more regularly on the truck.

[@wallyo7777]

Cleeeeean truck bro! Props

[@BCDriven]

Thanks man, My go to saying is typically "Its a 50/50 truck" if you know what that means lol

[@ImNotAMechanic]

Have you ever thought of mass producing that tire separator?? It looks like a great diy piece that would be worth compensation!

[@BCDriven]

Not really. There are some commercial units available that do the same thing for less than I could bring something like that to market for. Not to mention the market for something like this is growing smaller all the time with less people working on their own cars. This is actually a modified design based on and old 50's model bead breaker a buddy of mine has.

[@stirlingpickett5253]

Looking good I want to put the same size on my S10

[@BCDriven]

Nice!

[@rdeleonxl]

What is your drop set up? 3" in front and back? Truck looks badass

[@BCDriven]

Probably closer to 4" but to be honest I never measured stock height. Cut springs in the front (not ideal) and blocks and leaf spring clamps in the rear (also not ideal). Its not much of a driver more just for car meets and shenanigans.

[@rudy2relentless79]

How much tire pressure are in your tires by chance? I have 15x10s and I’m at 36 but I think there’s too much

[@BCDriven]

I run about 34. 36 should be fine, you just dont want to go too low on the stretched tires because of the chance of them de-beading

[@rudy2relentless79]

@@BCDriven Thanks for the info I greatly appreciate it

[@tylerpetersen2754]

what rims are they

[@BCDriven]

I cant remember exactly but I think theyre pro comp 51 series. I bought them second hand from a jeep friend so I cant be certain but I think they came from 4 wheel parts.

What's the pcd of your wheels ?

Not familiar with that terminology but I believe PCD is the proper term for what we commonly call "lug pattern". If so theyre 5x114.3 (5x4.5")

[@ademworthwent1168]

Arnt u worried about scratching the hell out of the rim edge? They look nice, i would be so worried about scratching and gouging them all up

[@BCDriven]

If they were nice rims I would probably be more careful. I did try to protect them a little from the concrete with a floor mat but honestly theyre steel rims. A little black touch up paint and you never know anything happened.

[@fwucku]

Why would you bother? Just do simple things like shortening your diff, roll the inside of your guards and correct offset to fit inside your guards without looking like a hill Billy pickup truck lol. Look how much the tyre sticks outside your quater. Any wonder you have to stretch the tyre like a dingbat to make it work 🤣🤣

[@BCDriven]

Meh my truck, I do things the way I like it. I never once claimed the way I do things is the way any other person should do theirs. Appreciate your input though, maybe others who are looking to do it the "simple way" will see your comment and be inspired.
