uh no thats not a stretch at all, if u want stretch on a 9 and 11, you need a 215/35 on the 9 and a 255/35 on the 11 or even a 245/35 or replace 35 series with 30 if they rub
too much


also keep in mind that tires run small, true, and large so the stretch will be dependent upon that as well




and sorry only one of that blue passat that i cud find

here is a 245/35/20 on a 10.5 generals stretch




the front however didn't stretch as much as i thought it would so therefore i have more rubbing up front

that rear is more stretched than is shown in that pic, but there u go for refrence

215/35 on a 9.5 is a pretty big stretch but yah go for it, u can also do ur fender work so that ur fronts wont rub

but yah up to u,

only reason i rub in the front is because i wanted poke in the front as well, so less fender work was done, but regardless on the freeway on dips ur tire will come close to the part were the fender and the front bumper meet, so u have to dremel down that metal piece as much as possible

i was doing some calculations, and went on works website. if i was to get a 10.5 in the rear with a -23 offset. that would be a 6 inch lip which is super massive, im going to be running on air, so what do you guys think? would a

20x10.5 -23 O disk be reasonable or is that to extreme?

^^ very doable with negative camber/ good fender roll and tire stretch. If you're on coilovers a revalve and stiffer springs will be a must if you want to ride slammed.

You will have no prob with -23, since you are going to be on air you should be straight. Also if Yoshi can pull of -21 without air you should be goood
