LOL LOL too many drinks Bill? 235/35 is too skinny a tire for that. Get 265/30/19 if you want that look in the rear.

If you want to stretch, don't use tires with rim guard. I think it will look much better without the rim guard.

Tires with extra sidewall protection?

I wouldn't recommend it...It looks pretty nice though..You'll crack your rims with a stretch like that, forged or not.....Just too many potholes that can't be avoided especially in the city...Can't begin to tell you how many holes, ditches and dips I hit this past week...I was with greg when he cracked one of his wheels with his stretched tires...Not pretty at all..

Yeah, that's it. I think the picture you posted has tires with rim guard.

However, if you want to make your tires look more stretched than it is, then use tirew with rim guard.

I like stretched tires with round shoulders.
