Questions about tires and wheels

Riptide67 · 10-16-2013, 09:37 AM

So I'm not very keen on the wheel and tire game.

I notice most are in 9.5 and 10.5

How does stretching tires work exactly?

Is it based on sidewall?

Would a 245/40Zr19 fit a 9.5?

Would a 275/35r19 fit a 10.5?

I am trying to keep my cost minimal since my tires are fairly new. Any tips an advice is highly appreciated!

Stock tires will fit on 9.5/10.5's

They will have a tad bit of stretch but they will work.

Thanks to you both! I thought I had saw someone running a smiliar setup but just wanted to verify!

your offsets will be your next big potential headache.

...followed by caliper clearance...

lol, tell me about it.

I have Z1 20mm spacers currently in route to my house. But, I can always turn around and sell those.

20mm spacers all around? I'd get 25mm for the rears if I were you.

Well, if I make up my mind on wheels...I am making sure I don't have the need for spacers at all with the right offsets.
