to me, mild stretch is 235/35/20 on 9.5 and 255/35/20 on 10.5, and aggressive stretch is 225/35 and 245/35 on same wheels.

maybe stretch guys can chime in...

Yea, 225/35 is stretched for 9.5 but dayyum 245/35 on a 10.5 is hella stretched to me.. Im riding 255/35 on a 10.5 n its an aggressive stretch..

Quick question about camber.. How much camber can I go before I start affecting my performance? Im at -3 in the rears.

255/30 on a 9.5 no stretch. if you want a bit of stretch 245/30
285/30 on a 11 a tad bit of stretch

All depending on tire brands

regarding camber: i ran -3 on my rears before and the car was fine. great on corners esp if you dont run too much stretch. as long as the TOE is in spec then you guys are good to go.

Toyo T1R is True but very rounded.

Nitto NT-555 is True

Falken ZE-912 is True but I believe to be more rounded than the FK-452

Sumi HTRZ II and III are True, and the HTRZ III actually stretch pretty well without compromising comfort while maintaining grip.

Bridgestone RE050A run pretty small, and are very rounded. Every Bridgestone in our experience has run very round and skinny.

Hankook depends. But most people will look into K110 and they run pretty true. Not bad at stretching on the K110 and H105s

are you running coils or springs? if your on springs its soft so you need to dial abit of camber to clear. if your on coils try adjusting the damper.
is your fenders rolled flat? coz i rolled my fenders flat and i gained a couple of MM.

also you have a bit more meat on your tires so cambering will help.
what brand tires you on?

Beebo also what wheel are you planning on getting, you can pm me if you dont want others to know.

I would say if you want a bit of meat to go with 235/35 20 on a 9.5 and 275/35 20 on a 11

The pad height will depend on if you want to ever run a bbk, do you have brembos?

^But he wants the akebonos, so he'll bee about 1" of pad space.

Beebs i also would say run 235/275 like Danny said as for offset i would do +5-+8 all around! and you will be find with some camber and a nice roll.

your using falken 452 (stretch)?
watch out for bubbles!

yeah adjust dampening and see if it helps with rubbing issues.
is it doesnt just add some camber (just a bit)

So 9.5 +5 front 11 +8 in the rear?

i do want meaty tires since the roads here suck

ill pull and do a flat roll if that what it takes

will i need like -2 or -3 camber?

Whatcha mean? I've had no issues with em so far. Stretch looks good Is there a better tire i can use for the rears that'll give me this same stretch look and performance?

G37 coupe, non-sport hub vs I35 hub
Just got a set of the G37 coupe non-sport 18s. Went to put them on my 2001 i30 (they will be replacing the i35 17s I have on the car now), and noticed that the new wheels seemed to be a little "shakier" as I was installing them. Almost like they wouldnt line up flat with the brake rotor. I dont have the special lugs (didnt realize that until now!) so I couldnt tighten them down, but just trying to line them up by hand it didnt seem like I could make them flat while just holding them there.

My question is why this would happen?

My first guess is the hub size, but it seems to be the same as my i35 wheels.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

-Chris
