Need help on stretching tires
Hi all,
I'm thinking into getting that stretch tire look and so I was asking around. I currently have a 245/40/18 front and a 275/35/18 rear. If I want to stretch what size should I look into? I went to a tire shop and they were offering me a mix set up with a set of Dunlop SP Sport Max 225/50/18 front and a set of Dunlop SP Sport 5000 255/55/18 in the rear. The price with balancing and mounting will be about $280. How does that sound and are those good? Thanks for any input.

You need to drop another 2-3 inches before thinking of stretching, even then probably dont need it... The drop will also make it look a WHOLE lot better! A lot more needed to achieve flush as well, rears are close the fronts need some more spacing. Dont know where "so" sunk in comes from though, cause its not that bad
