If your rim is that wide get normal tires for it.

General Exclaim UHP tires are discontinued.

You can look at Yokohama S-Drives (what I'm currently stretching).

Dunno why you wanna stretch a 235/30 on 10.5 though. Are you running THAT aggressive of wheels?

235 on a 10.5!?! That is nuts. I am 275 and still stretching. You don't want to get a normal tire?

I wouldn't consider a 275 on a 10.5 stretching at all.

Brian, look into Levon (the Stimulator) old set up on Work T1s. He had a 10.5 up front with a 235/30 and a 235/35 on an 11 out back.

Also, General is kind of ****ed right now. They discontinued the UHP and have the replacement tire for the UHP has been MIA. All the tire companies I deal with are kinda being weird about generals now.

BUT, remember Generals run large, so if you get something like a hankook V12 you're actually going to want a 245/30 instead since they run true. The 245/30 with hankooks have been done on a 10.5 and stretch decently well. But I don't know if that's the clearance you need or not...

This is 245/30 on 10.5 V12



Hope that helps.

^^ agreed. and to the OP its your car broski make it the way you want. tho 235 on 10.5 ... i really wanna see that lol. Hellapoke. Falkens are known for easy stretching. hankooks are decent but id go with something a bit softer for the amount of stretch you are looking for.
