Tire Stretching thoughts and recomendation...?

[jooboo]

Is that a joke?

This made me LOL!

...pretty sure he wasnt joking...

The 215 tyres wall bellys out as there 50 profile and i guess there designed like that.

Well here's your problem.... 215/50 ain't gonna work cause the tyre size is way off. You need 215/45 or 225/45 or 235/40 or 245/40 either of them combinations should work. NOT 215/50

What was the point of asking what tyre size you should be getting then just go try something that no one recommended...

The profile is still high. 225/40s should be fine on a 9.

I needed a car for work. I needed to get tyres on. I found these for cheap so the plan is to test them really. Didnt think 12mm would make much of a difference on the wall.

I dont get it though.

For the front:
Offsets lower than +43 are not recommended on the front because a very narrow tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+43 to +47 offset: 205 tires, 6.5" - 7.5" wide wheel
+48 to +52 offset: 215 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+53 to +57 offset: 225 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+58 to +62 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+63 or higher offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel

For the rear:
Offsets below 40 are not recommended for the rear because a tire narrower than the stock tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+40 to +44 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+45 to +49 offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 9.0" wide wheel
+50 to +54 offset: 255 tires, 8.0" - 9.5" wide wheel
+55 to +59 offset: 265 tires, 8.5" - 9.5" wide wheel
+60 to +64 offset: 275 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel
+65 or higher offset: 285 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel

Thats been going around for years. From looking at that, you wouldnt think a 9'' +22 with 235 tyres would fit at the front?

buddy there's no helping you... just put stock wheels back on.

[GSi_PSi]

im thinking the compressed springs arent helping either

[JN7]

pass the wheels over to me

[vyets]

compressed springs will probably even rub at stock height haha.
take a pic of the guard roll and let us see how flat it is.

[jooboo]

Guards were never the problem for me...the rear bumper was though..

yea same lol. but his saying its rubbing the guard not the rear bumper so a pic will help us solve this issue, I would think a 215 on 9 +35 rim should clear even without a roll lmao
