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?

like i said in the e-mail your offest will be safe for a tire like that, you iwll have no issues, but make sure to get a tire that stretches properly

In the white Sportline I am running with some rubbing (but fenders are not rolled yet...soon):

18x8
ET31
225/45/18 front
245/40/18 rear
AMG Aero II wheels and Michelin Pilot sport tires


(the black Sportline has 17s)

why would you stretch a 205 on a 9" wheel... :hmm:

Just go with a 225 or a 235...

BrabusBenz300E

There's no way 9s will work in the front. As low as you are I'm not sure about the rear..but better chance for them

berti_00

i know phammy but i just want a decent strech... or i can just leave my 225's on just swap the rears with 9's.... will it still look kinda streched?

berti_00

thank you andre... soo whats a good strech tire

would these be good?

berti_00

why do you say that? i have quiet some clearance in the front and if i use 215's that would be just fine... am i wrong?

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....

AndreNY

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

FALKEN FK452.

but mine isnt gone be a wild strech... 215/45/18 on a 9 rear is just about decent... and front 225/45/18

I run 215 on an 8 and I have nice stretch. 215 on a 9 will be pretty rad.

berti_00

that does look like a decent strech zorr zorr.. well ur always on top of the game soo non much to say heheh...but yah i think 215's will look kinda rad

just trying to decide if i want 215's/45/18 all around

STLe320

I know jgiato or however you spell his name has really stretched tires on his e320

berti_00

yah i need to have a word with him lol

his a are wider thoo... so he has no chance of lowering it unles he wants to ride on fenders

i wounder what his tires are? and the wheel width in back

STLe320

the wheels are ADR M-Sports. I think they're 18x8.5...but I can't guarantee that

berti_00

Negative on the 8.5 all the way lol... the front okay but not rear

STLe320

you're probably right
i've only seen them in 8.5 so i could very easily be wrong

ZorroAMG

215 40 18, Berti....45 is too tall.

ZorroAMG

Ha, just found this pic of my car in a car show with 225 40 18 on my 18x8ET35 's....and people said I could fit them on my ride height no problem....hahahahaahahaha

berti_00

i think i might go for that..

berti_00

and you know whats ghayyy... discount tire wont install any wheel that is a bit streched lol... WTF

STLe320

thats stupid
it's your decision...they should do what you ask! lol

YNVDIZW124

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...
