Tire Stretching thoughts and recomendation...?

[VeYzZii]

Hey guys. So i found a nice set of VS-XX online and couldnt help myself. I knew that they would not fit on with a recomended tyre size fitting. The fronts arent a problem yet, but the rear which ar 9' wide and +35 scrub very bad. My car is lowered. So my question is, are stretched tyres as bad as i think they are, and also do you think i can run in 225 45 17 or should i go with 215 45 17 to clear the guards. Here is a picture:

225 is enough.. 215 is too much. my mate Tamay ran 225 on 9 +38 and it sat nicely.

if anything 235 is fine and run camber

Is Tamay boss2k? Hmmm but how low is his car?

yeah mate, but he's on 245s with a finger gap or so.

back then he tucked his wheels on 225s

I'm going 235/40/18 for my fronts which are 9+38.. I don't wanna stretch it anymore than that thougb

Done. Cheers. Seems impossible though. My guards are rolled and ive run previous setups with same width and offset and had problems. Only difference is a slight offset difference. Oh well, ill start buying some dud tyres and trying them out i guess.

i run 17x9.0 +40 with 255/40 tyres all round. no issues.
i track them as they are and im about 1 finger gap. roll + flare is your friend in this case.

For 17 x 9 +35 you should get away with 245/40 or 235/45.

Personally I'd go with 245/40, it'll look better.

215 and still scrubbing.. LOL
