Too much stretch?
Hey guys,
So im not really into the hella stretch look, but I recently bought kumho ecsta tires for a hefty price and I got a good deal on some wheels. I kinda want to run these tires since they are brand new, so do you think the stock tire sizes would fit a 9.75 width wheel all around? I have 18/225/45 on the front, and 18/245/45 in the rear. Wondering exactly how much of a stretch I would get for the fronts, the rears im assuming will be okay. I don't want to sell these tires and get new ones, because I won't get close to what i paid, and they are brand new. If possible, I would like to use them, so no bashing on how stretch looks stupid. Thanks

You will be fine with that stretch... You are running a 45 sidewall, so you can get away with a little more stretch... I was running a 225/35 on a 9.5, so I think you will be fine... Hell, some people were running a 215/35 on 9.5's...
The rears won't be as stretched as the fronts though...

picture closest to specs you are asking (put in 9.75 and nothing popped up)
18x9.5 225/45 front
18x9.5 245/45 rear
being you are talking .25" wider wheels then i'd say you have nothing to worry about in terms of it being "too stretched" - it'll be not stretched enough IMO
