hey guys,
would anyone kindly post their stretched tire with the specs? also listing the exact model of those tires.

preferably a 225/40/18 on 8.5 and 255/35/18 on a 9.5

i was recommended buy buying 452 but have heard results with minimal stretch due to squared sidewalls.

anyway, please post what you can!

i dont think 225 on a 8.5 and 255 on a 9.5 are stretched.

not really a heavy stretch, or poke
but at least a noticeable stretch.

225 a bit of a stretch but 255 is NOT a stretch especially if its a wide tire like S03 or etc. My 245 kuhmo MX on OEM W220 AMG staggered monoblocks didn't look stretched almost at all. MX run 2+ oversize, same with S03s. some tires like Fusion are 2- undersized so be careful, sometimes tire widths from manufacturer are misleading.

this thread is retarded because the poster dident even do any research. the sizes requested are not even considered stretch style fitment.

hmm.. i thought i did a lot of research..
ive been asking people what tire size they ran on 8.5 and 9.5 and mostly posted a picture too.

they look slightly stretched to me, and i just wanted to know what brand and specific model they used.

not ONE tire will stretch the same or look the same. Ive had number of different brand tires with same size specs and they all looked different. some thicker some less.

Here is my Nitto Neo Gen 225/40/18, on 8.5in wheel..NOT BENZ but you get the idea..

If you want some mild stretch, get some 215s, thats what im getting next, so i can go a tad bit lower up front..

i would have thought the sizes u listed are the correct sizes for the rims?
specially only on 18s with higher profiles like 225/40
if you run the front on the back then maby
