So my summer wheels are 18x9.5+30 all around and I am going with a 235/40 front and 265/35 rear.. I know the fronts will be slightly stretched but I was wondering what brand tires are best for this and will look the least stretched.. I am leaning towards Bridgestone so4 pole positions, let me know what you all have with a stretch

If you have a square wheel set up then I suggest a square tire setup as well. You will get a lot better performance. Plus if you go staggered tires, then your front will be stretched and the rear wont. Might look a little odd.

Hankook V12 or Falken Fk-453 tires are always good for some stretching.

+1 for square tires.

If you're looking for a tire that runs a little wider, a Michelin Pilot Super Sport will run a bit wider than most other options. Hankook Ventus V12s look nice in terms of the way they fit in many cases, but they're narrower than a lot of other options.

Thanks guys, while I understand that a square setup would be most beneficial as far as being able to rotate tires and probably better performance but I think a 235/40 all around would probably be too thin for the rear.. Also this setup will mostly be for looks and this is an example of the fitment, I think it actually looks pretty damn good

Best Bang for the buck, go with Falken FK453 or Hankook V12. Great Performance/ Pricing.

Do you know anything about the bridegstone so4 pole positions? Because according to tire rack they are the next best to michelin pss and they are the same price as the hankook ventus?

They are a great high performance tire with a lot of grip. Definitely a good rival to the michelins

Do you think they would suit my needs? Because if I am going to spend 600 and change on the hankook might as well get something better for the same price right? My only concern is how the front so4's will stretch because tire rack has them for I believe $665 for the set which seems like a no brainer for the quality

What did you go with in the end?
I'm looking for the best setup for mild stretch combined with high speed performance/safety.
Have 19*9,5 fronts and will be running 235/35/19. The tires need to be capable of 300km/h (180mph) since I'm going to an airstrip attack this summer.
The tire must be pretty narrow since there's not much room on my pre lci E91 lowered on Bilstein coils.

Help appreciated guys!

I went with Goodyear F1 Asymmetric in a 235 and 265 and am happy with them but they are all seasons so that wouldn't work for you

Thanks. I went with Hankook V12 evo2 235 and Michelin Pilot Super Sport 265, hope it's what I'm looking for.
