stretched tyres help...advice....
i no there are many people that dont like this look but i am running a little bit of stretch due to putting my original tyres onto my new wider wheels which are 8.5j front and 9.5j rear. so at the moment im running 225/35/19 on the front and 255/30/19 on the rear. it gives a little stretch look which i like.
i need new front and am not sure wether to try 215 and have more stretch and do the same on the rear. has anyone done this and has any pics to show me, and will this make the handling of my car a lot worse? im thinking about stretching them more so i can lower the car more and space the wheels out a lot more.... Any ideas??? pics please thanks

You don't need that much of a stretch dude especially with those weak wheel specs. Even when spaced out you have lots of room and clearance with what you have how. Just add a little negative camber

With the 215 you will get more clearance and cause the wheels are small its not that much of a stretch. To much it doesn't get the best look IMO cause to much rim and not enough tire. The poke just isn't as nice and noticeable IMO. But that's personal preference. Post pics would be better |

You need to keep in mind, 215 is a lot less tire in the front. Less contact patch, worse handling, less stability, less tire for breaking.
Stretching a tire for a purpose with the right wheel is one thing, but on a stock like wheel it just looks like you made a boo boo. |

Project335i has a e90 and trimmed fenders and a slammed ride lol, thats how he fits those wheels. I hear e90's are easier to get the stanced look than a e92, but their both possible for sure. I'm getting: 19x9.5 et22 and 19x11 et25 soon with 235/35 and 265/30 tires, as well as a fender trim and some BC Coilovers
I also think you should just keep the 235 in the front, I was going to put a 19x10 in the front, but it will compromise the handling and traction of your ride. |

I'm planning on 19 x 8.5 ET18 rims on the front this summer. Think 225's will be safe enough? I'm dropped on H&R Sport Springs + SP Lowering Perches. I'm lowered 1.8" in the front over stock suspension. I'm running my stock rims for the winter tires I have right now. 16x7's with 215's on them and I mean they already tuck. I have slight negative camber already. |
