And I guess I should ask this as well - is the center bore on your wheels the same size as the hub - 66.6mm or whatever it is? If not, then you need inserts as well as hub centric spacers - or else hub centric spacers where the little shelf is machined to match whatever diameter center bore you have.

hey mr jones

Are u streching tires in the front and rear?
I am trying to figure out what size tires to buy but for some reason I can't find a single manufacturer that makes the tires for the rear end for the front I keep coming up with two different brands the tire sizes I was thinking about going with are 225/30/r20 front and 275/25 rear
Its so confusing.

19x9.5+20 225/35/19 front
19x9.5+05 235/35/19 rear
90mm extended wheel studs

There's a mild stretch on my wheels but nothing too excessive, enough to fit them fine under the fender wells. The 275/25 sidewall sounds like it may be too small, have you looked at anything in the 265/30-275/30 dept?

I used that 1010tires calculator and that was the only specs that can stay within the 3% speed variance so i dont throw my speedo off to much or the wheel speed sensors for the traction control and abs. My other question.
Are Achilles good tires? They seem to have the sizes i am looking for.
