So I was about to order some wheels and my friend is helping me get things flush.
I'm getting Front 18x8.5 +30 Rear 18x10+25
I need to know what the best tire is to stretch?
My friend suggested this
"Maybe 215/45/18 Front and 235/45/18 Rear Falken 912's"
I dont want a major stretch I just want a smooth angle from rim to tread.
thanks all

Pictures? kinda hard to imagine it exactly, with my mind constantly on "****" kidding..(sorta) Anyway, these are measurements given in a VIP car magazine from Japan. These are not the actual measurements you need. Just an option!
via:VIPCAR JAPAN (Opinion)
(F) 225/40/18
(R) 245/40/18
Based for a 9.5 Front and 10.0 Rear
hope it helps

Well I have been here http://www.tyrestretch.com/index.php but my friend said that different tires stretch differently and that the over all diameter of the tire needs to be the same front and back.

What is a flush off set for the rear on 18x10 and the front 18x8.5
I am lowered on tanabe df210's and KYB GR2 shocks.
my friend said that the tires need to be the same diameter so that it will look right.

I thought second time your wheel specs..
rear sounds quite good, but on front you must have lower offset because the wheel is wider. I'd say +10.. You will rub with these if you're low.. so roll your fenders![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I tested 20x10 +15 under my car to every corner, and that was almost flush, but i have air suspension and so much extra camber that stock control arms can give
Unfortunately didn't take any pictures
