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.

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
