Need your opinion...

sup guys, my wheels are on it's way, they're are 20 x 9.5F and 20 x 10.5R.

i'm looking for a stretch look, but not too crazy where you see the barrel of the wheel, i just wanna see the tires stretch and the lip poking. what tires do you guys reccomend, and if you guys have pics, it would help. thanks. my wheels anr the "work t1s" by the way.

First off, posting in the wheels sections would've been better.

If you're going for the stretched/poke look, I'd say 225/35 F and 245/35 R. That might be too extreme though, atleast for my taste. I'm running 235/35 F and 255/35 R (might switch to 265/35 for the next set) on the same widths as you and it's a mild stretch with minimal poke. I like the way mine looks. Sorry, no pics yet.

Also, congrats on the new wheels! What offsets did you get?

unless you're int he low singles or negatives you do not need to stretch. Stretch if you need to not just cause.
So tire size imo is dependent on your offset!!

^ I agree. If you're stretching, you better be pretty low and have low offsets, otherwise it'll look very weird IMO. Those are the only reasons I stretched my tires and had my fenders rolled by Shane .

before i ordered my wheels, i didnt' know about offsets, so the dealer sold me what they though was right (+22 front and rear). this f*ing sucks, i got 20x9.5 +22 and 20x10.5 +22 on the Work T1S. now they're on there way, no turning back. what can i do to make this look decent. i'm willing to do spacers, but what size? my car is droped low already (s tech). i really wanted to do the stretch look, but i guess that'll look crappy. so what size tire do i need? i'm willing to roll my fenders. help guys!!! the wheel will be here the begining of Feb, i need to order tires. pics please, i wanna see what my options will look like. thanks again!

Sell them and wait 3 more months for new ones with better offsets haha. J/k...

Personally, I'd put 15mm spacers all around to give you an offset of +7. You'll need your fenders rolled, of course. I have +4/+6 on my vs-xx and think they look great. They're pretty flush with the fenders. But it all really depends how crazy you wanna get....

i thought about this already....didn't know if it would hae worked. only difference is, i was think 20mm spacers. anyone wanna trade their 20mm for 25mm (2 sets)

It could looks good fore sure. All depends on your current offsets. Like i said if the stretch is to clear what couldn't otherwise be cleared then you're golden. But if you're still tucking and your still stretching it's kinda like a wtf lol
