I need help

[illestcoupe10]

I'm ordering some xxr 526's for my coupe
There 18x9 front
And 18x10.5 rear
I'm on Eibach. So what tire sizes?
I need to know ASAP please help:/

Ooohhh. Definitely post pics if/when you do. I wanna see that!

[illestcoupe10]

I'm getting them for sure! Can't wait(:
But help with tires please?:(

[mattyfo0z]

You looking for a stretch at all? I know some guys that run 275/45s on 10x5 wheels that give a mild stretch, but 265s or smaller will give a pretty big stretch. I'd play it safe with the 275/45s (less chance of rubbing too). Maybe 255s or 245s would work on the 8.5s.

What do you think of 225/45/18 front
nd 245/45/18 rear?

225 is mild stretch on 9.
245 is mild on 10.5.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Alex(:!!!!!
In your opinion do you think that would look good?

So can someone define what they mean by "stretch"?

[Irvxing]

By stretch they literally mean stretch. The rim is thicker than the tire so it looks like this

Very common thing going on.

I need real opinions on how it would look with 224/45 front
And 245/45 rear
Help me guys:/

[mattyfo0z]

It will look good. Little to no stretch in the front with a little in the back. I'd go for it.

[AlexM.]

There's stretching for the look and then there's stretching for clearance. I'd only do a mild stretch unless you have very low offsets or very wide wheels. If you want that "cool" look that a lot of the hella flush people are going for then a 195/35/18 on 9 and a 225/35/18 on 10.5 will give you a big stretch. It looks cool but its not my style and I think it looks a little ghetto. I only like a little stretch. Plus on more extreme stretches and depending on where you live, in the winter you may have to worry about the bead coming undone.

Heres 9 on 195 but on a 17.


And 225 on 10.5 on


I plan on running 235 on 10.5 if I ever get new wheels which is in between extreme and mild.

[illestcoupe10]
