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
Even so, you still haven't even posted what wheel specs you were considering stretching tires with.
On top of that, you still haven't done your suspension yet? Take Blain's advice, lower your car first and then come back. Make the wheels fit the car, not the car fit the wheels.

That's fine if you like the car to have an aggressive stance. But, I'm just saying there is no point in stretching a tire if your offset is a +25 or so.

I wouldn't recommend Hankook Ventus V12s though. They look really nice when stretched but the sidewalls are like jello. You'll get bubbles really fast.

falkens aren't that bad lol for the price you pay can't really complain.
im debating if i should stretch a little more. 275/35/20 on an +15 11''. Should I do 255/35 or is that a pushing it a little too much for houston roads lol
dropped on coilovers. No clearance issues. half a finger fender gap right now. Want to go lower about half an inch in the rears and camber in. I'm in spec as of now.

I would like to think so. I suggested them because for one, they offer sizes with reinforced sidewalls. This will help reduce the chance that you could get bubbles on the sidewalls. Of course, it obviously depends on the roads you're on and whatnot, but the Hankooks I had were rendered unusable after six months of driving in Southern California. I really like that tire though, and for most I think it's a good balance between comfort, performance, price, and loudness. Another reason I suggested the FK452 is that you can flip them every now and then to maximize the tire's life. They're not the best tire in the world but for those that are looking for something to stretch I think they are a good place to start.

They're pretty inexpensive compared to other tires. Depends on the shop and size of course though.
