Just picked up a new set of rims and im trying to run a little bit of stretch to sit at a pretty low stance.

My rim sizes are:
18x9 -Front
18x10 -Rear

I was thinking of going with 235/35 & 255/35 what do you guys think?

Why not 40 profile tire in the front?

40 can work too, i just want to make sure that the rims lip does not stick out of the tire... just want a very small stretch

235/40/18 will look less streched than 235/35/18.

Here is a 235/40/18 with 18x9 wheel

Depending manufacturer, same size tyres will look/stretch differently.

Thanks man really appreciate the links, the 235/40 for the front stretches exactly the way I want it to, now for the rear do you think 255/35 will stretch the same amount?
