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?Originally Posted by Almightyone

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.

i mean 255/30/20 and 225/30/20 shouldnt that be a decent stretch. the next thing would be 255/40/20 225/40/20 go to a 40 series tire?

Not very stretchy at all , I'm running 255 rear and 225 front , reduces rubbing quite a bit
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

Yeah 40 is way too tall , 225/35 front and 255/35 rear is a good stretch

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

Honestly i want this sort of stretch in the rear. where you can see the lip of the rim from the back. SICK

Keep in mind some tires stretch more than others ( brands etc .. ), with my 255 I can sit 15 business cards between the lip and tire .

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.
