--Streching Tires--
okay so i decided to change my wheels to the same ones but have the rear ones staggered am doing them 9 wide on the back.... and the offset is 35 as well..
so would 205/40/18 be a to big of a strech or would look nice... the rims have about 2 inch lip or so..
ohh and would having all 9's arond look good or not?

lots of cars
If you want to stretch smaller tires on bigger rims get tires with reinforced sidewalls. 205 won't fit on a 9" wide rim or i'll look like your riding on the rim edge. Also, stretching tires makes tire crack on the edge faster. People may have different opinions but from what i've seen it does it after a 6 months to a year.
This is a 17x8 oz super tourismo on a 205/40/17 tire i have....it's a mild stretch but 9" is too wide for 205....

couple of Benzos
those Nankang are very cheap but im not too sure with how they stretch, the sidewall looks pretty small so im pretty sure you will have a nice little stretch on there. Im using Pirelli P-Zero Nero's on my OZ futura's and those have a avery nice stretch

It's all about what tire brand and sidewall design you go for....try to stretch some michelins ps2 and i'll look pretty wierd....Try some falkens with a reinforced sidewall...or nitto 555
It's a PIA to get those tires over the rim hump in the middle that's why. They don't need that much work and can't give you a warranty on wear either...
and you know whats ghayyy... discount tire wont install any wheel that is a bit streched lol... WTF
