Hello everyone. I am trying to find a set of tires to stretch onto my new Vossen Wheels.

Sizes are:

20" x 9" +20

20" x 10.5" +25

I am working with a few tire guys so trying to see if anyone has any ideas on if there are any tires withing these brands that will can allow for a stretch like 245/35/20 on the rear and 225/35/20 on the fronts

BFGoodrich
Bridgestone
Michelin

Has anyone had any experience with these brands and stretch? I only have relations with these guys so I can't go to Toyo, Falken, or the other better known "stretch" brand tires. Trying to make something work and help promote them too but it has gotta be reliable.

Thanks for any help guys

Michelin's pilot sport series are bloody fantastic. Like the guys have mentioned above, its not a huge stretch.

All those tires run big so go with a smaller size or use dunlops

Tony the new Super Sports are out by Michelin, supposed to be superb....they are the new model to the Pilot Sport 2. Before that, it was just Pilot Sport.

Word of warning. Although Nankang NSII's do stretch well, (with what i think is far to large rim protector) they are utter ***** tires. I trial fitted some on the front of my LS430. What a mistake. Brand new, they shudder like mad, are noisey but most importantly offer very little if any grip for a heavier underload rated tire. The front of the LS was simply skipping its way around with so much push it wasnt funny, round about were a bloody chore. Never again would i go near Nankangs. Upon swapping to the desired Michelin (PS 2's), the difference was like chalk and cheese.

I need advice for tires that stretch well and are cheap. 245/35/19 for a 11.5 and 275/35/19 for a 12.5

Achilles ATR Sport. Good stretchers and high tread wear 400. Oh yeah, did I mention they are cheap too?

I've heard with the Achilles though that they don't work too well when flipped.

I'm running them now not stretched and i'm at about 11k miles with about -1.5°-2° camber on my rears and they're showing some inner camber wear but worn evenly the rest of the tire. My fronts had to be replaced after only about 4k because one bubbled and I ended up just replacing the other. But because of worn suspension parts the insides of the newer front 2 are balding while the rest of the tire still looks brand new after about 7k miles at -2.5°-3° camber.
