does anyone know which brand tires mount with the best stretch?
I have a set of Falken FK Grb 451's in 245-35 and 285-35 and they look good. I also have a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S in 245-35 and 275-35 and on same size 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 rims they still bulge over rim where Falkens have nice stretch even though the tire size is bigger. what about Toyo's? do the Japanese made tires run a little more narrow?

 

Just my opinion, but I think you should pay the extra money and get the tires that fit the rim... Streching a tire to fit can not possibly be safe.

thanks guys, but read my post again. I am using 245-35 on 19x9.5 and 275-35 on 19x10.5. these are the correct sizes. I am not trying to mount a 255 on a 10.5 rim. some manufacturers tires are a bit bigger or smaller for the exact same size tire. my 275 Michelins look fatter than my 285 Falkens. I am not looking to "stretch" a tire that does not fit the rim, but have a tire that provides a bit of a stretched look. the offsets I run are very aggressive +19 front and rear and I do not like the look of a tire bulging out past the fender line. I hope that makes sense to you now.
