nankang NS II 215/35 on an 8.5,smaller profile pulls it over a bit more but still pretty gay,had to go with the sizes for the size of car though,also this has the RPB shaved off it so any stretch is really exaggerated

go with a 205/40/18 if your looking for a decent stretch.

Damn I thought a 215/35 would do. Would it be anymore of a stretch on 215/35/19?

I have a 215/40 on my 8.5 (its a 17 but same thing). I want more stretch I just did this because finding 205/45s that were in stock around here was impossible. The guy that has them kept having them in then not when I wanted them.

I want to go with a 195/45 or something but I'd say its not enough stretch for me.

for the price difference I'll go with a 215/35 over a 205/40...

translator engaged-I bought two NS II 215/35x18's for 98 GBP(great british pounds)over here thats quite good going dont know how that converts to dollars over there but nankangs are about the basest model cheaps id go for,decent value/grip ratio

If you can get 'em to me for $65 USD then I'll paypal you right now lol. Otherwise we are sitting over here in the states ready to kill for the tire sizes you can get your hands on in Europe without breaking the bank. :)
