I went with a size that I knew would work with stock suspension as I was unsure I was even going to lower my car in the first place, and got the best tire that I could afford. I also am not a fan of stretching a tire as you have done. If you had bought a proper size tire for the size wheel you bought, it would have been quite a bit more money. I have a wider tire than you on a smaller wheel. I think you have it assbackwards. As for lowering my car and getting wheels and tires at the same time, not many people can afford to buy all of their upgrades at the same time. I've been spreading out my upgrades ever since I bought the car as I dont have a huge income right now. I get things as I can afford them. It's something I knew would take a while from the start. And while that may limit my options slightly because of any fitment issues, I live with it. Anyways, you can check out my build thread for updates.   |
lol I'm not trying to start a fight with you. 235/40 on a 9.5 is far from a dangerous amount of stretch. I think it is quite a good balance between form and function. You can easily fit a 215/40 on a 9.5 if you wanted. (not that it would be totally safe) I am not condoning stretching tires. And I am not trying to start an argument. And never did I tell you that you bought the wrong size tires and that you are ass backwards. Don't get your pantys in a knot. This all started because you took helpful advice I was giving IF you wanted aggressive fitment, and you thought I was dissing your setup. Be happy with your average fitting wheels and overly wide tires for stock power. (imo) Once again. 235 is extremely minor stretch on 9.5 compared to what some other people and car groups do. No need to get all high and mighty because when it comes down to it we are both on replica wheels pretending we are on te37s LOL.
