18x9 what tire to stretch....

[bud's hanzo sword]

215/40?

Tyrestretch only has like two pictures and I'm unable to determine what tire it is.

Or would a 215/35 be better?

[grippymonkey]

either would be fine.. it depends on the car so I don't know which would be best

I have a 215/40 on my 18x9's and its a pretty decent stretch. I guess it all depends on how much poke your gonna have.

I can put some pics up later tonight of a 18x9 w. 215 35 Falken 512s if you want.

Its a GOOD bit of stretch, but works well if you're low enough to pull it off

Yeah pics would be great. I have found a few out there on the internet with some creative searching (I wish people were better at labeling their images).

I'll post those later too, they are on my computer at home and I'm in class

Ya i'm not off work til 11 but i'll get some up ASAP, if you go into the "post your custom wheels" i might have already posted the stretch shots of my tires.

Either way check that and i'll get em up tonight

Thanks for the pic, but it would be great if people can post some of tires that are still available.

The 512 has been discontinued for over a year... are you sure they are in stock or does their website just say they are?

Onlinetires still says they have 155/55R14 Federal FD1s in stock but they haven't had any since March this year and last I heard from their salesperson on the phone is that Federal has discontinued them.

These are not my pics so credits to whoever took em.

This is supposedly a 215/40R18 Falken 912 on an 18x9. I dont have a problem buying these, but I want to see if there are (I know there are) other brands out there being stretched on an 18x9.

Nobody stretches on 9's? Or nobody takes pics of it?

The whole "discontinued" thing was a rumor. Falken is still producing them. It's just that they have an agreement now with discountire so that they can be the only distributor of the 512's. I've ordered two sets from them in the past year. They keep replenishing inventory.
