225/40/18 with 18X 9.5 all around
hey guys,
So finally had some spending money after finished paying some stuff off. I decided to get some wheels, tires, and suspension. I bought tein basis z for the time being until I bag it. i also bought some wheels that are 18 X 9.5 with an offset of +24 all around for front and rear. I also bought flaken tires 225 40 /18 for a stretched look. however, I been researching and have been getting mixed results on what it'll look like. people have said itll stick out, and others said itll be flush. is there any input you guys have? is there anyway I can see itll fit.
thanks!

Here's the site - https://tyrestretch.com/
Keep in mind different tire brands fit differently with different shoulders/real widths/appearance
This is what 255 looks like on a 9.5

Mine aren't really stretched, if at all. I think the rim protector - the thick bead of rubber nearest to the rim edge - gives the illusion of a stretched tire. I think the 225's will give you what you want. One thing to keep in mind though is that 225 40 18 is quite a small tire for the G. 45 profile would be more appropriate and closer to stock but I know it'll make the stretch look a little less aggressive.

okay cool, and I just thought about how non aggressive it's gonna look as well, I just hope the wheels will still back it look fatter!. When I saw the 255 I knew I messed up lol.

thats just an an example of how I'm hoping the tyre well look, I want the wheels to be flush. If anything I'll just get wheel spacers.

I guess if its slammed on coils it looks like you have to do that, but on just springs it looks like it needs to be lowered.
What are you dropping it with?

Sorry wolverine but there are soooo many things wrong with your set-up. Tires too skinny to do any serious driving, car needs a major drop to even try to pull off the look (some fender covering top of tire all around and I hope you have hundreds of dollars for proper coils, camber and toe kits saved up) and when it is dropped you'll realize 18's will still look way too small for the look you're going for.
However I hope it turns out like you want it to, shattered dreams suck. Ask me how I know.....
