Its actually fairly safe, considering the amount of shenanigans that drifters get upto on stretched tyres.
There are a few cases of the tyre coming off the bead, however from what I know these are few and far between.
It started out near as I can tell as a cost effective way of getting stiffer sidewalls from cheap tyres, and has progressed into the usual one-upmanship (in terms of skinny tyre on widest rim)

Do you have any pics of insane stretch?
(it's a fascination of mine. I could never do it ot my own car but its really interesting to see what others have done)

I'm at work, so not right now - but a quick google should find you some impressive stretch.
I'm of the persuasion that a little stretch is good, but there definately is a thing as too much.

that yellow honda spazz is a personal nemesis of mine. one of my favourite engines in one of the worst, most hated car imaginable for it.

More of the Celica please.

Nope, started as a way to get wide wheels to fit under standard fenders without the tyre sticking out (which usually won't pass rego).

Stikhas make things go heats faster, bro.
And that's the lot. Most were fairly unusuable thanks to the light sensor in my camera crapping itself repeatedly.
