Stretched Tyres - Pro's and Con's?

Recommended Posts

I think if you're NA then 225 is about as wide as you'd want to go. Think 235s is the limit. Think you can still get a bit of dish with a reduction in offset on say a 9J rim or 8.5.

 

I'm not OCD about many things, but grammar is one of them! :P

Problem is the wheels I want only have 1 offset option (I believe) for 8.5 and 9.0 widths and they are what they call a Face 1 design, where as the 9.5J are a Face 2 design which is a lot more concaved.

I'm currently thinking Gram Lights 57FXXs or 57GETTERs 18x9.5 all round

 

I've been looking at the getters too :D not 100% on them though might just go for something less busy

Cool, proper JDM wheels too. :)

 

9.79kg at that size. That's quite good considering but 600g heavier than a stock wheel. Reckon 8.5's would be better in regard to weight. Is there any reason why you are going so wide?

I knew you'd approve....was thinking of keeping this hush hush the main reason again is because of the concaved face and secondly, I'd like to go FI at some point in the distant future so don't want to have to get another set of wider wheels at a later date.
