as the title says has anyone ever fitted a 215/45 tire on 17x9? i was wondering if i can utilize my stock tire setup on my new wheels but haven't see this done before. i know it's going to be stretched i just don't know how bad.

thanks allot!

 

215/45 on a 9" is not that big of a stretch

 

im running that exact set up on my s wish a had a direct shot of my wheel but i dont, stretch isnt to bad. keep in mind that each tire (brand) will stretch differently some more then others like say falken or federal are both a preferred tire to stretch instead of a kuhmo, these are not offical facts just results that i have found from research and hanging around the vip and euro scene
best most direct pic i have...im running riken raptors great tire

 

man i hate those things haha, $40 tires...

215 rear? what is your front tire size?

 

dam 40$ maybe a different model or im getting ripped on the price from america tire co. oh and im running a 205 on the front on a 17x8

 

stretch = friend ........there are alot of people in the s2k world who frown upon tire stretching idk why... not referring to anyone in this post.

 

 

Ugh. Why go smaller than stock?
