Want to order my 19 x 8.5 rims & tires .Like the stretched look . Will I notice a 19/225/35 or should I go 19/215/35 ? Will lower my XB thanks to Cionide tanabe NF 210. Thanks

225s will give some stretch, but you might be able to squeeze 215/35's on there. I have 225/40's on my 8.5in wide rim, but that decrease in height will give it better stretch.

people do 215/30's on 9.5" & 10" wheels. some people even do 205's

i say 215/35 for the 8.5" will give it a stretch but nothing over the top

I have 215 on my rear 9" wide and it barely has a stretch..and 205 on my fronts and I get a good stretch ur best bet would be a 205

i have 18x10 all around. my rears have 225/40 and fronts have 215/35

rears with 225/40 on a 10"


fronts with 215/25 on a 10"


IMO the 225 on the 10" is kind of a weak stretch. 215 is where its at. but give your situation with a 8.5" rim, id say go for 205 or even a 195. hahha. that will give you an awesome stretch maaaan. and also, check this site out, it may help a tad.

Hahahaha. With stretching, it's go big or go home

Now don't get me wrong on this But, you say go big or go home! With stretch like that you might be walking home. That is my biggest concern about big stretch. I still love the look.

Learn to drive safely then.

^Haha, drive safely, or slowly? Then you have to find a place willing to get the tire put on, and most places won't. Then the option is to DIY and perform a flame show lol.
