Well first, double check that you have the diff mounts in the proper position. I believe that stock, both the front and rear should be two notches toward the center of the car.

After you are sure that that is correct, run the car and the belts will stretch slightly after about a dozen runs or so.

But if you're really worried that the belts are too tight, you can adjust them to loosen them. You do this by moving the little dot counter clockwise. One notch should be enough.
