You don't have to get different wheels, but you would have to run the biggest spacer you can find to achieve "that look".

Tire depends on how much space you have left between the lip of your wheel and the fender. If you stretch too much while the wheel is still sunken in, it won't look right.

so is it a bad idea i ordered 20mm spacer with 275 tires given the width of my rims? its not ridiculously stretched but it looks alright

Stance GR Coilovers
245/35/19 in the front (19X9.5) gonna go with 235 next time, so these front tires wont look bigger than the rears
275/35/19 in the rear (19X11)

I still need to lower it some more whenever I get the time, that wheel gap is bothering me so much.

Yeah, it'll look good. A lot better than before, but it won't be anywhere near as aggressive as the cars on this thread.

^^ i will see what happens when i get spacer

and in regards to your other psot about running 255 tires on a 9.5 width and still no stretch maybe it can be the wheel itself or the way it was designed or tire?

i saw my style on a 265, it seemed pretty ok

dam i wish i saw this first. before i didnt know how to explain the look i wanted so i thought that those with wider/ stretched look were runnin 20 inch rims lol

yes i know noob lol

Post em up when you get a chance.

I've tried 235/35 (Michelin PS2), 245/35 (Toyo T1-S) and 255/35 (Toyo T1-R) on a front 9.5 wheel (Both Volk and Work) so I know it's not just the wheel. Definitely depends on the tire size and type.Thought about 265 in the rear for a 10.5 wheel but theres not many options in regards to sidewall.

Bottom line is: A 255/35 toyo will taper a bit but still give you some rim protection. At 245/35 you start to see some serious stretching, and the look is amplified if the wheel is in the rear. At 235/35 or less? You better be dumped to subterranean levels since there will be little sidewall to fill up gaps.

To everyone, sorry about my long posts...I know you guys would rather see pix of cars.

I think you could've went a little bigger than 225s on that front 18x10. No need to go that small.

Looks good Kevin.



I think he meant the 245s have more bulge on the 9.5s than the 275s have on the 11s.

I really don't know the offsets when I bought them from a Zilvia forum member he had them painted and I guess they painted on top of the sticker that is on the back of the wheel and I don't know how to figure out the offset...sorry

Not an extreme stretch, but i saw this setup. It's not bad for a street/track setup.

Knguyen,

Nice, Just get you some Stance and you will be sit to go.

Also you might want to put some spacers in the front and rears, my opinion
