another question is if i use 255/35 tires on a 19x9.5 does that stretch the sidewall making the tire have less sidewall and thus more easily damaged by potholes etc???

i cant make up my between 215/35 or 225/35 for the 19x8

and 255/35 or 260/30 for the 19x9.5 rear


please help

255 is not that much of a stretch on a 9.5, mild stretch is 215 front and 245 rear, or you can do a 235/35
