Stretched and spaced like it was an rc

I don't get being so desperate for attention, that you will ruin the performance, of one of the most expensive things you own. 🤔

As dumb as this may be.. it’s not quite as dumb as the moron I just saw yesterday. Driving down the freeway doing 80+ mph on two spare tiny doughnut tires on SAME SIDE of the car! 😳
Not only risking his own life but everyone else on the freeway! Those F’n things are not made to go faster than 30mph and just far enough to get you to the shop!! 🙄
 
I bet his wheel bearings hate him too. Engineers design stuff to work a certain way. Especially automotive engineers. That huge offset is going to do more damage than that stupid tire mounting will. And his scrub steer has to be terrible. Putting a bunch of strain on his power steering pump. I wouldn't be surprized if the tires don't shutter real bad when turning the wheel while not rolling.
 
I'm going to guess that "truck" doesn't see anything but asphalt and most likely it's only hauling it maybe 2 or 3 people.

To each their own though.

This is actually very explainable...
This is the "fake it til you make it" monster truck conversion kit!

Build your own monster truck at YOUR own pace!
Need bigger tires and wheels for your monster truck but the budget isn't allowing?
NO PROBLEM!
These wheels were bought at a pawn shop on the buy-here, pay-here program.

The difference in tire height between stock and donut can be enough to blow a posi out of your car in a few miles.
