no but really, what's the ideal width for a 18x9.5in rim? I was looking at something in the 265-275 range maybe 35 or 40 sidewall.

but for a 9.5 width rim, you'd probably want something like what you said, 265-275 with a 35-40 sidewall..

obviously, this setup is not my track setup... just what i drive daily on. and its strictly for looks. then again, you have to understand it to appreciate it. just look on hellaflush.com and you'll see what i mean.. its not for everyone.

There is nothing unsafe when it comes to streched tires as long as it is done in moderation. I HATE to bring up the drift example but in the D1GP count how many of the cars are running a slightly streched tire. Have you ever seen them encounter bead lock failure?
Now when you start getting into the 195 on a 10" wheel, then we might need to reopen this discussion [quote] by UrbanTacticZ
You may see drifters run a slightly stretched tire . But they dont tell you they run alot higher psi in them . 1- to make them safer 2- to get them to spin and smoke

The reason why I deleted that comment was because I was thinking about events in the past. Today streched tires in drifting is still done, however, it is done often with amatures. The reason is to have a stiffer sidewall and this can be done either by streching or by getting a good tire with a stiff sidewall. Streching also reduces the contact patch which is good for drifters so they can slide around. But still, at the end of the day, I have yet to see any failure when it comes to the bead lock.

Kind of getting our quotes mixed up ? I said the above .
Anyway stretching tires on wide rims looks bad and is a waste of money because you will always end up against a curb and ruining the rim . And the ride quality has to be bad because of the higher preasures needed to run them that way .

I ran a 235 on a 10 for a few months with a 60 mile commute without any problems, just a sore back.
