Default Stretched Tire setup question.

Okay, well I asked this same question in the official stretched tires thread,the 19" wheel thread and in the varrstoen wheel thread and no one answered so I decided to make my own thread.

1. I daily drive my car.

2. I'm dropped on BC racing coilovers.

3.I have Varrstoen wheels waiting to go on my car.
Front: 9.5x19+12
Rear: 10.5x19+12

4. I'm about to purchase tires.
I know everyone does 245/275, but I want a more "slightly stretched" look.
I'm thinking about running this:
Front 235/35/19
Rear 255/35/19

My question is, is there any major issue with this?
I know it would be smarter to run a tire size that doesn't require stretch but I like the look.

So basically I'm looking for the opinion of anyone who has experience with stretched tires, to let me know if this setup will be okay without being too extreme of a stretch. I'm looking to buy the tires today.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

its not that crazy but its a pretty good stretch, it all depends on how low you plan to go tho.

I run the 19" 2.2.2's +0 offset with 225/35 245/35 and im pretty slammed

my front tires rub a little, so yours might also depends on how low you are

+1 on needing 10-15mm spacers to make it flush depending on your drop. Those tire sizes will give you a nice moderate stretch, especially if you go with some 452's

Stretching tires are for the "hipsters" for the car world. It's worthless and is just a pain in the *** for the guy who is mounting the tires. You should hear what tire techs have to say about f@ggots who stretch tires.

I'd say 225/35 & 255/35
Falken 452 give a nice stretch

Pics of your car before I pass judgment on your validity. Alberto hates but at least he has style to back it up.

You say what you think, no matter what, and it's often funny even if I don't necessarily agree
