Ok lil bit of a dumb question..

I'm currently running 18's on my car with the rears width being 18x9"

the tyres on the rears are 265/35/18.. what other size tyres will fit safely.. IM looking to go with something a lil cheaper therefore attempting to shy away from the 265's if possible..

Just about to buy some tyres for my 9" most likely going 215/40, if uve seen my car u know I like the stretched look :P

Running a 235/35 on my10" atm, yummy yummy

Just be careful, some brands of tyres stretch better than others.

Same goes with rims, some allow MAJOR stretching others dont, its upto the type of bead!

wtf that is insane!

Which tire shop in Melbourne would do that for you!.. I need to know lol

Al, recommended Bob Jane in WaterGardens, took it to them and they fitted it, but were like no way they will go on, im like look at the tyre u took off(same sizes) and hes like, ok :D

Thats awesome man

Bob Jane refused to put 235s on my 9" rim lol

I was a bit suprised, hardly had any stretch

Dont tell me it was WaterGardens one? Cos im planning to use them again this time round!!!

Na na wasn't that one man lol

Western suburbs Bob Jane would probably do it, but not happening down here in the south eastern suburbs

haha, I go a springy shop to do my rears 275's on an 11" not as much stretch, plus they nankangs and dont stretch as good, thats why id rather another set of stretchy Falkens.

What rims are they anywys Zorb(34gtr?)? Do they have a nice chunky bead?

i found i lost grip with stretched tyres i had 235s on 9" rim...

if i was u, i'd just put 245s or 255s to save $$$

How is 235's stretched on 9 inch wide rim?

I am running 235's on my stock GTR rims and they don't look stretched. It had 245's on it before.

Running 235 on a 9.5inch rim would be stretching it :P

To the original poster, there is an interesting thread of stretching tyres somewhere in the forum, unfortunately it didn't have much debate other than about the "look" of it...

Also check Wheels sizes and offsets people usually mention what they've run before it might help but you will probably find its recommended to not stretch the tyres.
