is 245 strecthed on a 9.5" wide

[toledo240]

I got the ebay 9.5 " wide with 35 offset. the rims give me about a knuckle witdh apart from the rim and the spring/shocks.My question is i got 245/40/18 will these need to be stretched? by the looks of it i need it to be stretched to fit.

Yes... it will be a slight stretch. I run a 235/40/17 on an 9" wide wheel and it's a slight strech. 245/40/18 is only .1" wider section width, on a .5" wider wheel, so it will stretch some. Not like a lot of guys I've seen on here running 225's on 10" wide wheels though!!!

Minor note but 1cm is actually more like .4", not .1

Yes, it will be a stretch, but not a horrible one.

alright well my question now is putting the rim on the rear with no tires. i already said it has abotu a knuckle width apart from the rim anf the shocks. Now with these strectched tires will these tires clear ?

yeah it should clear, as long as the tires dont have a humongous rim protector bar.
