Johnny , the wheels look amazing and I would run a stretched tire set-up but thats just me.. Maybe a 235 in the front and 245 in the back or 245 in the front and 255 in the back so that you have a slight stretch and still have some rubber on the rim....

So the stretch is the fact that it doesnt quite reach the edge of the rim, right ?
Its not me though
thanks for the education, a picutre is worth a thousand words.

That is correct..Typically running a stretched tire allows a wider wheel and fender clearance so that rubbing isn't an issue..And some like it and some don't , and thats fine..to each their own..

I mean you can fit 285 on a 19X10 easy so why would you want to reduce traction and run a 245?

I can live with the fact athat some just like how it looks but, why would you want to run a wider wheel and not a wider tire for reasons other than astetics?

Okay next question why would you want such an offsett?

I know it is a Japan VIP thing but I would be nervous running a stretched tire setup. Whether he likes it or not, JunctionGS's car is the JP demo car here so it is beneficial for him to maintain that image. Most of us don't have that restriction. Unless it is mainly a show and very occasionally driven car, I would go with the traditional setup for everyday use. But that's just me.
