you only have a 7.5 inch wheel and you want a stretched look? you are going to have to run like a 205... and even thats not terribly stretched (I consider a 205 on a 7" wide wheel fairly normal) You need wider wheels if you want something stretched...

I can't even think of any tire sizes that will be even close to OE diameter and "stretch" on a 7.5" wheel... 215/35-18 is a very short tire, and about the narrowest I can think of in an 18" thats common at all...

WHY do you want the stretched look? You don't have offsets/sizes to need it.

Those offsets are super low too. Methinks a trip back to the drawing board might be a good idea.
