Please elaborate. What would you recommendan and why?
Reason I chose that size is cause I got a buddy back stateside that has the exact same setup as me (tein s-tech with stockies) running that size on feds. All he did was roll his rearf enders and had no issues with rubbing.

Nah what I meant was a ton of peeps on these forums will tear you a new one for stretching to be hella flush.

A wider rim deserves a wider tire

Not really into hella flush stretch look or dumped way low, just want something that will sit nice with minimal issues. Oahu got a lot of pot holes LOL. Reason I stated the size above again was based of a buddies ride and setup. It looked pretty good and not to stretched out. What would you recommend? A 245/40? Kinda of a noob in the rimand tire department. Thanks

hey aguon03...225/40 on a 9.75 wide will have some tire stretch, not as much as the pictures below (215/40). but it'll also poke from the fenders, so don't get them if you don't want to be hellaflush. so now you should make some decisions to save time and money...

(1) you can stay on springs and roll fenders and stretch tire, this will keep your fenders from getting destroyed (because springs are bouncy)

(2) you can stay on springs and pull fenders and go 245 and max negative camber, this will keep your fenders from getting destroyed but wear tires faster (because of negative camber)

(3) you can get coils and roll fenders and go 245...and win

hope this is moar constructive criticism than previous posts...other than jrocko's ;)

I don't even understand. Your buddy is running stockies? As in stock wheels? Or s-techs on stock struts with the 527's in the same size you're getting? Also why buy wheels so wide and with such a low offset if you don't like the hellaflush look? Unreal.

PSBeachBum 01-12-2012 11:40 AM

Antho! Been a minute since I have heard from you! Anyways I would get the 245. I'm using 225 on a 18x8.0 perfect fit.

I'd borrow a fender roller and a heat gun, and do em yourself... I've done a bunch of my cars, and careful, can get it nice without breaking the paint.

9.75" is pretty wide for a 225, I have 15x9 with 225/45/15 and its stretched. And then 15x10 with 275's which are perfect.
