Your rears would be stretched just fine. Just remember that General UHP's stretches are large.

If your front is a 8 or 8.5, that tire size seems like it would be normally run on that tire size.

OEM 19" Rays in the front are 19x8 and I run a 225/40 on them and that's just normal. If its an 8 in the front, run a 215 /35 stretch and you should be good.

^^ I'm still kind of new to the fitment, but you don't think that would be too thin, Chris? Not to question your judgement, but just trying to understand as well.

you would need to provide the full specs for those wheels cus if you are trying to be FLUSH with "air kit" i would assume you would want to be pretty low.. at which point you need some serious specs

If you don't know the width of your wheel, that can be easily done by actually measuring it.

As for an offset calculator, you can use this link here.

google =

http://www.ehow.com/how_5021837_calc...el-offset.html

basically finding the offset is measuring whole width of rim, divide by two to find the middle then the offset is the difference between were the middle is (calculated) and were it ACTUALLY is

lol isnt the actual width of the rim where the tire and the rim meet not the lips? cus i measured the rim from lip to lip but thats not correct. i dont have 11 on the rear and 9 in the front. cus im on 275 and 245 and they are a little big for the rim. the actual rear center is 4 inches in and the fronts are 2.5 inches in. if i had 8 and a 10 that would be an inch difference in the back and 1.5 inch difference in the front.
