I want to get a stud kit and some spacers before mounting these, so I will be able to easily play with spacer sizes. Also rolling the heck out of the fenders.

Got a set of 235/35/19 Eagle F1's also lying around, but I am not sure they will be wide enough for the 9.5's.

Want some moderate stretch, still gotta drive in DC on this.

Thanks. Great site you guys have here, BTW :) ;)

235 on a 9.5 is gonna hardly be stretched, it'll be fine man.

[Presns3]

235 on an 8.5 is not stretched at all... + an inch... i think it'll be a mild/moderate stretch...

215s arent stretched on 8s at all... you might have to go 205 for a mild stretch... and i dont even know if they make 205s. lol


edit:
heres 235 on a 9.5

Hmm, so perhaps I should just throw that 235 on the rear for now, and source some 215's for the front.

Thanks fellas :)

215 for 225 for the rear

[simsima325]

:rofl then get 215's for the front till you can get 225 235 on a 9.5 will be a subtle stretch kinda like my 225 on my 8.5

Sorry man, you don't know my love for slamp and stretch, i was joking with swinny.

got nothin but respect (and desire) for 5's

[SeanDub]

I'm not familiar with how the profile works on 19's but width wise, a 235 on a 9.5 will probably stretch similar to a 205 on an 8".

[simsima325]

Hmm, should still work though on the rear.

Hope these wheels look alright with stretch!
