Falkens bubble really easily and wear very quickly. I wouldn't recommend falkens. Hankooks are actually softer sidewall than Falkens as well.

thanks for all the help guys! i appreciate it. i actually was able to get an achilles 235/30 mounted on a 10.5 but the stretch was unreasonable. I miss my UHP's so i ended up getting a size bigger 245/30 and it fit perfectly but had to end up running more camber to make it driveable.

hey guys, i was wondering if i should be looking into stretching my tires my sizes are:

FRONT: 245/35/20
REAR: 275/30/20

I like the poke when you stretch the tires....or would it be better with my size just to put spacers in for the similar look????

thanks for the help

You need to post the widths of the wheels too.

And why do you want to stretch? Are you stretching for the sake of stretching, cuz that's not the reason to run stretched tires. You run stretched tires for necessity and clearance reasons. Same with negative camber.

Stretching and running negative camber for the sake of doing it is unnecessary.

Well one reason is i like the car to look aggressive.... and im planning on getting coilovers and lowering it... and possibly really low and i think if i do lower it without putting spacers i think my tire would be inside the fender, but i would like it to be right on the tire if u know wat i mean
