Yep I stretched the stock tires. I noticed no difference in ride quality. I still want to lower it a bit more.
But for now this combo works for me. Once we get to SoCal in a few months I will be going with 18's. But I wanted to see what was possible using the stock rubber.

Not for these rims no. For the new ones sure. But I saw very little reason to not use these tires up for drifting. At that point I will decide what to do.
At best case I would still put only a 225 on these.

A few photos I took yesterday. Tow hook is actually being returned. I figure I should probably have a license plate frame...

yeah that really doesn't work. stretched tires are no good unless you require them for a fit.

I am running much lower and with 18x9.5's ... I had 235/40 18 stretched a bit and it was terrible. Went up to 255/35 and it looks proper

It would probably look better with +25 or +20
