Might not be a problem since the tire will be stretched, but itll depend on the brand tire and of course, camber.

The last few pages of this thread have gone way off topic, lots of stretched setups. We need to get this back on track.

Blue Z, however, needs to bed in his brake pads.

that picture only proves that the whole hellaflush thing is a fad/skinny jeans thing to do...

they're just both as low...

EDIT:

thoughts on nismo rims 18x9 all around 275/35 285/40? I might buy a pair of 18s from a friend...

I'd go 275/35 or 40 depending on how low you are. 275/40 rear and 35 front would be nice if that rear isn't too tall for your set-up.

Waizzz,

I remeber seeing that a long time ago but havent been to the back of the thread in a while. Thanks for that and it looks pretty sick....

Already ordered the 275-245/35 so i guess we`ll see how stretched they look in a couple day. Thanks again.

Looking at changing my wheel setup from what I am running now.

I want more tire of course, I mean why else post in here. My question to you guys is, will the sizes work and what size tires would you recommend? I am on KW Clubsports coilovers with fender pull and roll.

19x10.5 +32 Front

19x12.0 +35 Rear

Thanks in advance for the help guys.

Jeremiah
