Return the front wheels and buy another set of 19x9.5. The run 245/35 front and 245/40 rears.

Also get large spacers.

Pretty hard to stretch something decent on an 8.5 and still have a nice patch of tread on the ground... On 9.5's I've seen some people go as low as 215's... But 225's will stretch nicely....

My general rule of thumb(as well as many other's) is bump it up or lower the width of the tire 10mm per half inch... So if you have a 19x10.5 wheel, a 245/35 will stretch nicely, if you have a 19x11 wheel, a 255 will do well... Get it?

Now, the reason people stretch tires in the first place is to make a wide wheel fit the wheel well when lowering their car...

Your wheels are not wide at all... I think that if you are going to get into this "FAD", do some research, and do it the right way...

Welcome. "Stretch" is arbitrary. Does 205-225 mm fits your needs? How about 225-245 mm? You figure out the width. The rest is easy.

9.5 with stretch tires out back will look ugly. skinny rims with even skinnier tires. it'll look like two tooth picks from behind the car. those belong up front with 10.5 rears if you want stretch

Exactly what Toby said

What offsets did those wheels come in? You will need spacers

i think its 19x8.5 offset 20mm
and 19x9.5 offset 25mm

i think i will be fine from what I have read im not trying to have to roll my fenders i found a guy with a similar setup 245/35 front 285/30 that looks good and not like tooth picks lol but it wont let me share the link...i may stay away from the strech and just try to look more flush

wtf just roll the damn fenders lol.

and yea stick with 245/35 and 275/35 to somewhat fill up that fender.

10.5 doesnt mean you have to roll fenders. Offset, tire size, camber, and ride height all come in to play. You need to read some more, buying wheels without knowing the basic isnt a good move.

poor little noob with his kindergarden Wendy's money wheels. Fitment is a trial and error game, you take wheels on and off to get the right fit. You'll learn soon enough little boy

First it was stretch, then a 275 mm tire on a 9.5 inch wheels, now its 10.5 inch wheel. Take a few days and figure out what you want.

You have to realize these questions pop up in new threads almost once a day. It's hard to take every single question seriously. When you could just search the many different sites out there and this one. (rimtuck.com for example). Toby just spoke the truth.

lemme get this straight

you want to be hellaflush with 8.5/9.5 Axis wheels with no fender roll? And you start a thread asking instead of just reading in the "stretch/aggressive thread"? lets say i did put those wheels on wrong by accident, at least i learned by reading. I was a noob with the most aggressive fitment nismo lmgt4 18x8.5/9.5 at the time...i must've been one cool noob

again if you had a setup like i do you'd understand why it doesnt matter which direction wheels you put on when you have to remove them on and off 10+ times for adjustments.

What does "help wire tire strech" mean?

Regardless, no one can help until we know the offsets of your wheels.
