The Official XXR 526 Thread *POST YOUR PICS*
Alright. You want the +15 then. 30 series tires would be a decent stretch. I have 285/30/20 on my back tires and they are stretched more than I want. I believe most go with 35 series. But go with what you think would look better.

285/30 isn't that much of a stretch. Very mild stretch. I have 275/30 and I have a mild stretch. Remember your brand of tires play a big role in tire stretch. Some tires stretch easier than others. For example 452's are one of the easier ones to stretch. What tires do you have in the rear?
That is true. I wasn't thinking about that. Strike my last post from the record. Lol. I have Bridgestone Potenza Re760 Sport tires on the back. I bought the car about 7 months ago and the dealer put those tires on the wheels that were on it. Looked ok on the 20x10 that the car had on it but it stretched it more than I like on the 20x11. I guess you would consider it a pretty mild stretch but it's more than I like.I guess I was looking at mine and then thinking what it would look like on a 255.

No. Do not go to a 40 series tire. 255 personally to me is too much of a stretch. Where I am there's a lot of debris on the roads. More stretch means more of the lip is exposed. Easier to mess them suckers up. But if you have clean roads then go for it lol
i wish there was a shop that can show the stretch between each size. i have heard a lot of opinions on what stretch really is. to me some of those opinions is not stretch at all. but thats me. i love a stretched tire and all that rim poking out at the rear driver. but the reality is that we wont know what it will look like stretched until we get them mounted. gaaaaahhhh

The offset on that last picture is definetly lower than what you would get with the 20x11 +15. You are right though. Just look around for pictures with specs and brands of tires that would look close to what you want. Kind of a pain but it is either guess or find something kinda close to what you are looking for on the site.
