F: 8.5 +40 (<- insert laughs there) with 33mm of spacer and 235/30/20 Fk542's
R: 10 +43 with 10mm spacer and either a 275/30 FK 452 or a 285/25 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric.

I've never been a fan of large negative camber or stretched tires, those fronts were too narrow for me so I went back to 245/30's very shortly after that. Nice and flush is by far my favorite.

I'm not an expert in this field but that is a pretty extreme stretch and I can't see shops being willing to do that. Maybe if you paid cash cash with no liability or receipt.

245 on an 11? Good luck finding a shop willing to take that on... but you are on the west coast. Over here no one would take that job. Crazy stretch.

I would go 255/35 on 11. I have a 235 on a 10.5 so with the right tire I think the 245 on 11 would work

These were Nankangs/ they didn't say anything about an issue with 235 on 10.5. The 255/35 however, would not fit my 11.5 for anything. had to step it down to 275/30

i searched a little and lots of people say nexens stretch good
did they have to use the air shot to put the 235s on 10.5?

245 on a 11 isnt that bad of a stretch. I ran it and had no problem, Ven377 call san diego tire and wheel, thats where i go all the time for my tire needs, and they have plenty of experience in stretching.

Depends on the shop. I believe they run small so it may be a little tough. I couldnt' get an Achilles 245/30 to fit on an 11. The 35 woulda worked though. I opted for a 235/35.

Surprised that didn't fit. My buddy had 255/35's on his 18x12's and they were Nankang NS-II's
