have been running streched tyres all summer long and i havn't had any sort of problems. Only thing is that car will be a little bit bouncier since you'll have to go with a little more air in the tyres that normal just to be sure they stay in place!
a question, are you going to stretch just because you think it look good? Most people stretch to get clearance between the tyres and fenders when they lower their car. Stretched tyres on a car with original hight doesn't look very good (according to me + don't know if your car is lowered or not)

anyway here's a pic of my stretch. Running 205/40 on 17x9" rims
