The brand of tire is going to make a difference. Keep that in mind. Anything running small probably won't work. I went with the Hankook Ventus V12 and it came out great. It may also depend on the shop that's doing the stretching. After mounting, I'd leave the wheel off the car for a full day. You can drive home and whatnot try to get the wheel in the sun so it helps prevent leaking issues since you have so much of a stretch.

Here's a good pic while on my car:



This might be better. It was when I was test fitting on eurodre's coupe:



Hope this helps.

^Thanks. Im probably gonna be cheap and go with achilles atr or general uhp, my tire guys havent had any problems stretching either brand for me before but i've always done 35 series. Gonna stop by there after work and ask what they think of the 30 series. Might just do 20x10 +6 with a 225/35.

Thanks everyone for the help

Those are two totally different tire types. The Achilles will run small. Stretch good though. I tried putting a 245/30 on an 11 and it had a finger gap on one side. Dunno if the 235/30 would work on the 10. Generals will run large, about 10mm larger (than a true running tire).

Such a tease Chris, lets see how its sitting now...LOL. No more -5 camber I suspect.

EDIT: That second pic shows it a little better, any pics of it sitting on the ground? Did you remove the collars in the rear?

a touch over $100 at NTB, but then you get free alignments for 6 months.

I think my last one was $75 or so. They just brought the toe back to 0. No camber adjustments.
