What Size Tire
I am getting some 18x7.5 rims and i completely love the stretch tire look. what size tire would i go with to have them stretched on this width of a rim. I am new to the stretch tire thing, so this is why i am asking.

stretch
It'll be hard to find a proper tire to stretch on a 7.5" width rim. You should run 8" width and do the 215/35R18. Even that won't be a super stretch... I don't think there are any tires out that have a 205 or 195 secion width in 18" that still maintain the proper tire height...

Well there is one which might possibly fit according to TireRack. It's the Dunlop Sport 01 DSST with the dimensions of 205/40. Don't know if you would consider this a super stretch since the sidewalls on an 18 in rims is so small (approx 2.7 in). Also good luck finding someone who can mount it. Incidentally the price per tire is $255 at TireRack..
