They are though, definitely not a lot... that little recurve right there is the first indication of a stretched tire. If it was needed to fit the wheel in the car, then so be it, but I rather use the widest tire/wheel possible unless I am going for a "stanced" look, which is not my cup of tea.

Nope still not a stretched tire though… you’re saying stanced isn’t your cup of tea yet deciding what falls in the category of “stretched fitment” when that’s a “stanced” term being discussed.
That specific tire he is running on a 9” is spec’d as ideal to what the tire manufacture feels is the median point of matching up the wheel width to their spec. While it may “look” stretched to you, it don’t = a stretched tire. Leaving the spec window is when you are truly stretch or buldged (like when I ran a 235/40 on a 7.5)
We are just talking about different things Scott and I are stance oriented people so when we discuss stretch and fitment we are referring to stance things (it’s why his car is a lowrider currently and couldn’t run a 245 on a mild 45et offset)
You guys are just talking about your opinion of looks based on what someone is running on thier car in the end.
