No, it's just he's making it seem like he is going with a major stretch, so I said some ridiculously thin tire on the 10.5" wheels lol.

I think he did 225/245 or 225/255. We'll see soon.

I like the setup before, the meaty and wide stance looked good.

This is what happened to one of his tires after hitting a pothole. Keep your eyes peeled for them with the new setup.

Key word in your statement is I meaning its not your car so why do you really care. One of the biggest threads on this forum is about stretch tires. I dont understand why so many take other peoples cars so personal

I didn't mean to make it sound it like was something really really crazy....i was just ****ing around with you guys.

I went with 215/35 and 245/35

Here are some "teaser" pics of the new setup..

Took the 245/35 I had up front........


And put them in the back:



And now have 215/35 in the front:



Pretty low:



And a shot of my Pioneer AVIC D3


Got a little tweaking to do next week...heading to the beach with the girlfriend and my best friend tonight!

The tire may have separated from the wheel but I bet it looked cool. After all looking cool is what we are all about.

Sorry dude, the 215's look ridiculously stupid. Just my opinion man. As much as it pains me, the 245's from the back look "ok". I like the wider/aggressive 275 stance though...


...215's dude....really? Lol, your car...your money. How does it feel handling/driving/traction wise?

hey I'm a stretch and poke guy myself, but I fail to see the point of stretching unnecessarily.

If your current combo fits without any issues why would you want to stretch then?

And look at how much gap you have now between your fender and tire, it doesn't look right.

op def. needs to space the wheels out, im sure he's aware of that. As for handling or how it feels, i just went from 235/35 on a 10.5 stretched to 305/30 and i will say i like the feel of the 235/35 a lot better. Now it feels sluggish and heavy

Those 215 do look more stretched than i thought it would, maybe the brand he got run narrow? anyway my 235/35 was still more stretched and it looked good after they were pushed out. After spacers they'll look good.
