My local shop here stretches all the time that it doesn't matter how skinny the tire is for the wheel, they'll try it for the hell of it.

Like when I tried stretching this 285/30/19 onto a 19x13 wheel. This is as far as it would stretch before we just dismounted it and I got different tires.

Highly doubt a trip to LA would be necessary. Simply being in California means theres a tire stretch friendly shop around almost every corner. Search San Diego yelp.com for tire places and look for high rated shops.

If you care about your wheels, be sure to ask if they have equipment that won't scratch the lips.

Ment to ask you last night but spaced mind throwing a picture up?

Well I am looking at a new setup for my 03 Sedan
Currently, I have BC coils and 18x9/10 +20 wheels but want something different
My question is about the Cosmis Racing wheels, MRII

They come in 18x9.5 +15 and 18x10.5 +20
I know the 9.5 +15 would work in the back fine, would I be able to run that all around? I have about
-3.3 camber all around now and don't want anymore then that
I feel that I could fit the 10.5 with a stretch as I have barely any tire stretch now and the wheel fits with no rubbing

My biggest concern is running the 9.5 in the front, I could not find any info online for the same offset in the front on a sedan, but still not set on the 10.5 for the rear

I would be looking towards like a 215 or 225/40 on the 9.5 wheel and maybe a 225 or 235/40 on the 10.5 wheel

^ It should fit with around -3.5 degrees of camber up front and possibly 225/35 tires.

Marcus Cooke(Candlestick Park) is running 19x9.5 +5 I think.

Those sizes should work. Might be able to do 265/35 rear but I'm not sure since I don't own a sedan.
