Hellaflush Tire Stretch Specialists!
Federal 595! My buddy runs a 205 on a 9.5 and a 215 on a 10... Tires have decent grip still...
Plus they are super cheap. But be informed they do run wide for the size. His 205 was almost as wide as a normal 225...

I've daily driven 215 35 on 18x10s before lol but that's ridiculous. I personally wouldn't get Nankangs heard they have debeading issues. Achilles ATR stretch really nice and last a good while. 245 35 should look good here they are on a 10.5

Hankooks or Falkens.
/Thread. Don't stretch, you're in the South Bay and admit it, some of the roads there are pure poop. If you shop around enough the Falkens can be had as low as ~$175 online.

Federal 595s run narrow for their size. Only the RS-Rs run wide.
South Bay roads aren't that bad.. Especially not necessary to drive a lifted truck like a lot of the d bags in the area.
Good luck with tire choice Brendan, looks like you have some good info to run with!

Wheel ***** are your service.
I have stretched 215/40s no problem on 18x10s as seen here. Running Bead Sealer of course and never popped a bead, Tire Pressure set to 42PSi.


Then switched to 215/40s on 9.5 Wides,

Now if I wanted to do it all over again, I would go Federal 225/35 Series Tires, and call it a day and not even worry about rubbing tubs or anything at all. Just my opinion. Carry on
