HELP: offset and tire size recommendations
Hello all! I'm planning on going with a stretched look with my setup but i need some advice before I make my purchase. My rear tires need to be replaced, so this is the plan. Right now I plan on putting 245/35 in the rear, this should be stretched correct. Now, I need to know what tire sizes should I go with to go stretched in the front. I'm also planning on buying spacers and need to know what sizes i should go with in both the front and the rear. I don't mind rolling my fenders but I will not be going as extreme as to flaring my fenders out and so on, please keep that in mind. Anyhow, below is my setup and would appreciate any recommendations. I will be making this purchase within the next two days!!
wheels specs
Wheel Brand: Axis Shine
Wheel Size: 20x9.0 2.5" Lip F / 20x10 4" Lip R
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 5x120
Wheel Offset: 15 MM F / 20 MM R
Wheel Finish: Hyper Black

That is going to look retarded, plain and simple.
People that do the stupid streatched look are usually slammed with a much much more agressive offset and loads of neg camber. So slam it and get some 2 inch spacers and you might look okay, but it's doubtful.
Good Luck OP, but it's going to be hard to make that work.
If your going 245/35 rear I would say 225/35 front?

He was exaggerating. 2 inch spacers would effectively put the offset of your front wheel at -35. Sound reasonable?
I'm with the others who have said this will look stupid. Unless your plan is to be the king of Hot Import Night or any other car show where trophies only go to the cars with the tackiest of tacky mods, forget about this non functional stretched BS. If you want to pull that off you'd need to take other measures to pull it all together. Leave the ridiculously stretched tires, -4 degree camber, and mutilated suspension geometry to those euro tards.

Ok, well let me explain what I am looking to do. I don't plan on having extreme camber like most people running this setup. What I am trying to do is bring my wheels out further to the fenders. The problem is this, with my current setup in the front I rub a bit when turning. So, I will probably need more of a stretched tire especially if i'm trying to bring the wheels out further than they are now. Forget the whole slammed stretch look. my goal is just to bring out the wheels to the fenders with normal camber setting or close to normal camber settings. I would like both the rear and front to be more aggressive. Sorry, i hope this helps you guys out with my intentions of this setup.

if your going to ONLY go with a 10' rear you need to run like a -27-35 offset. for the "stretched" look. Stretching without going flush looks stupid. and stretching on a 10' wheels means a 225 series tire.. Stupid. why run a 225 out back? Run a 10' fron and 11' rear and you can run stretched tires in stock tizes, 225/245.
I would suggest running a 10f/11r et0 offset and then you can run factory spec camber, and OEM tire sizes with you stretch..
Those specs are the weakest you could run, 10f/11r with zero offset. anything else would be dumb for your purpose..
Definitely DONT buy axis wheels if your going for that look. Buy a good 3 peice wheel.

I don't have a problem with that. So, lets say I put the 245/35 up front. What tire would you go with out back a 275/30 that is the setup I currently have. With it setup like this what size spacers should i go with to make it flush with the fenders. I would need to roll my fenders because I presently rub a bit on turns in the rear but not much. I assume if I get spacers I will need to roll my fenders for sure.

to get the wheels to sit flush with your fenders you're gonna need spacers for sure. i'm assuming you are on stock height. judging from your wheels specs i would use 10mm spaces front and rear. go with a 225/35/20 up front and a 245/35/20 rear. (if you are going for that stretched look).. definitely pull/roll the fenders and while running slightly more negative camber and you should achieve your goal with no rubbing
