225 or 255 RS3/EHP tire on 9.5" wide wheel
 
Generally the extreme performance tires like RS3s run wider. Anyone know how an RS3-type tire fits on a 9.5" wide wheel? Pics would be awesome!

I plan on going 225/40R18 RS3 on 18x9.5 wheels. Or 255/35R18, which I know is more square. But I'm NA and I think that's too much tire. We're also looking at a difference of ~155 per tire vs. ~210 per tire, respectively!

I prefer a very small amount of stretch to the beefy look.

My ideal amount of stretch. 235 RS3 on 18x9.5 (front):

My 265/35/18 rs3's on 18x9.5 have a perfectly square sidewall. Anything under that will start to stretch in. Just mounted them up, don't have pics right now
