New Tire Time - Stretch Or Meat

Well its time to replace the tires on my G again and I am debating to stick with the size I did last time for a little stretch look or go with a meatier tire. Car needs an alignment immediately after I get some tires but I also need to get a front camber kit when I buy tires. My last set got eaten up pretty damn fast because the alignment was ****...With that being said I am just debating to go with a meaty look or stay on the stretched.

Anyone post their meaty setup? I am really not sure how meaty I can go, especially since I am not on coils and the car is pretty low just on springs.

Last Set:
Front: Nitto 225/35/20
Rear: 255/35/20

Suspension:
Z sportline drop
Tokico D spec struts
Whiteline Bushings
SPC rear camber arms
SPC front camber "purchasing with tires"
Front & rear fenders are rolled

Previous Pics:
NOTE: Spacers are installed for these pics, I believe its 25 or 30mm front and rear

Your wheels are sunken in so there's no point in stretching.

Stretch and Over Camber has hopefully died, gone back to riceland!

Wheel width/offset has a lot to do with what size tires you can run! Commons size with aftermarket wheels 8 and 9" wide is 245/35X20 (F) & 275/35X20 (R) which allows for great handling and ride. My last set for the rear was 285s because Michelin 275s were in short supply. I like the 285's better with my 10" wide rear rims, cornering ability is vastly improved too!

Awesome thanks Gary! I will take a look at the rim width tonight and look at my tire brand options. Honestly I have no idea on the offsets haha bad i know..This is my DD so never got too carried away with the mod's and the wheels were a spur of the moment type of thing. Picked them up from a friend after trying them on and he bought them with his car. They are not a high end wheel so little to no markings on them anywhere but they look decent on the car and they are a good training wheel before I eventually dig my teeth into something like SSR etc in the future.

I imagine going with a wider tire I will end up having to get some smaller spacers as even with it rolled right now its pretty close to the inside of the well..like less than a pinky finger but we shall see.
