You can stretch the stock tires if you don't mind that

No it won't be a ton but will be stretched somewhat. If you take a glance at other wheel threads and people that are running a 225/40 on a 8.75-9" wide wheel that's basically the stretch you'll be looking at. Stock tires are 215/45 so the 45 will help from my understanding of tires...... People can chime in if needed to correct

minimal stretching . the stock Michelins tires has the side rims protector. that thing make the tire look stretch than a regular tire without.

Im using the xxr 527s 17x8.25 +25 with the Michelins stock tires and the bc br coilover , camber set on 1.2front and 1.7 rear , no rubs.

Yes. MOST places will not stretch. PERIOD. Thats why i have to buy two new 245 series tires for rear, otherwise i would have my stock tires in rear now. I probably called over 15 shops around and outside of my town. Call around first. Hope ive been helpful.

XIA, this is what im looking at:

Size: 2 Front Rims are 17X8.25 with +25 offset
Size: 2 Rear Rims are 17X9.75 with +25 offset

what else should i need my car is completely stock all i got is intake but nothing for suspension.

xia · 09-26-2013, 04:26 PM

Coilovers, LCA, camber bolts, etc. Im running mines with no suspension changes besides BC coilovers. These are just test mules until next spring. Without a drop, your car will look like a 4x4 lol.

xia · 09-26-2013, 04:28 PM

If you look closely, my rear 245 series tires are slightly stretched. Im am by no means into stretching but like i mentioned, these are test wheels so i didnt care. Overall, i like em!

It is very good to become good friends with an asst manager or manager at a discount tire :b or at any other tire shop. Went in after hrs and got mine installed and we just looked away.... But yes most places will flip the f$%& out when you mention stretch on a tire....
