Hey guys...amd galsI was just wondering what would be the best tire to stretch?
I just bought a set of 9x17 work emotions and thinking about fitting 215 and 245 on them

Cheap tires stretch better. I've seen a 195 on a 9 in rim online.

^^ cheaper tires will stretch better.. i.e., contis.

however, in my experience toyos and falkens stretch very well. i've been running 215/40/18 toyo t1rs on a 8.5" wheel with no problems whatsoever.
