Tire size help

dominic828 · 08-20-2013, 09:24 PM

Hi, all
I am going to get a new set of rims and the size would be 9.5 and 10.5 et22 all around. Need to get some advise on tire size. I would like to have stretch look, any suggestions?

Well getting a stretched look isnt all that difficult, just go with under sized tires. slightly stretched while keeping some performance will be 245/265, if you want to stretch more then 235/255 (which can be hard to find matching tires depending on the rim diameter) and the extreme will be something even more narrow. Good Luck!

I would do a 225/35/18 or 19 front, and 255/30/18 or 19 rear.

I was thinking 225/35/19 in the front and either 245/35/19 or 255/35/19 in the back. How does it work?

The tire sizing you choose should also be determined by how much fender work you're willing to do to make your wheels fit. Choose wisely, and keep in mind that not all tire brands/models are the same in terms of their size!
