for a 9.5 and 10.5-11 wheel, what would be a mild stretched tire size? (yes i know tire brands are diff but an average would be nice) i drive pretty hard so its still hard for me to think about going to less rubber but i do like the tucked look. so if i was going with a 20x9.5/10.5-11 setup, i would think maybe 235/30/20 and 265/30/20?
also how do these types of setups affect your speedometer settings? usually as long as you stay within 3% of overall stock height you dont have problems. personally ive always been within 1% when i change from stock.
how hard are the people with these setups driving? i know this look is popular in the drift scene but is it practical for spirited street driving? here in fl we mostly have long stretches but i usually push it around corners when i can.

ive used the miata tire calc numerous times and im not exactly a slow driver so maybe they're not for me. i love the look but not looking to sacrific driving style.

well yah you do have to be a lot more careful with stretched tires, some people like it some don't, when i get my wheels ill stretch them, it will make me slow down, im not into driving too fast as much as i was.. unless we call 80 constant speed on freeway fast

Shane,
I totally agree with you on that. If you don't ride low all the time then really whats the point..
