Why would you do this?  You don't need to stretch a tire to fit a 7.5" 
wide wheel and have it fit within the stock wheelwell...  The "euro 
stretch" look I've seen is on WIDEASS wheels where you have to stretch 
the tire in order for it to clear the (usually widened) wheel arches...

What are your reasons for WANTING to stretch the tires?  They won't 
perform as well, leave the rim very vulnerable to damage, and imho it 
looks like ass...
