Default Stretched tyres

Hey i have been looking into putting stretched tyres on my 350z, my current rims are Volk "SF Challenge" F19"x9.5" R19"x10.5" and was wondering if the rim size would be to big to stretch tyres on? i see alot of people are using 18" rims and was wondering why? heres a few pics of my rims and ride height at the moment its got its got BC Coilover's BR Type adjustable in it so i should b able to lower it more if i need to

thanks

The diameter of the wheel has nothing to do with it. Judging from your pictures, I would start with a 235/35 front and 255/35 rear. After installing the tires measure the gap from your sidewall to the fender and add spacers accordingly.

What Terrasmak said... 225 and 245 with 35 series sidewall... if you are not comfortable or don't know what you are doing... just don't do it... Do some research and then decide what you wanna do... Stretched tires can = headaches...
