I've got a Mitsubishi GTO, factory recommended Tyre size is 225/50/17 front and 245/45/17 rear. I wanna put 245/45/17 front & 265/40/17 rear. Basically getting wider tyres that fit my 8jj front rim and 9jj rear. Now I'll be driving 240 km/HR meaning 150 mph. I've heard sports cars tyres expand on high speeds so is it going to be good or bad getting wider tyres? Thanks.
Bro I got ESR SR07s 18x9.5+30mm but do you think 225/40ZR18 tires will work on my 06 RSX Type S or nah?? Just really curious since I’m new to the car game and don’t want to miss up and waste like $410 on tires that won’t be any good? I’ll appreciate your help my g😁
Depends. Do you have coilovers ? If you do, 225 will be the thickest tires you’ll be able to run on 9.5s for your Acura & you will absolutely have to roll your fenders & possibly pull them or you might rub a bit
@@Gg-pp6el yes. And a daily drive the shit out of it for the past eight years. Long trips, lots of city. I’ve put almost 200k and so far so good. However I did put and still I am putting a lot of money into mine as we speak
What is the purpose of “stretching” a tire on to a wider rim than the tire was intended for? Looks like a safety hazard and maybe the shop that installed them would be at fault if anything were to happen.
Not sure why this rumor still going around. It is not a safety issue if your running car under normal conditions. If your not drifting or racing you will be fine. The whole purpose of "stretching" a tire is to get a unique look and for clearance purposes.

Just ordered some XXRs 18x9.5 and I have nitto 235/40/18 think I’ll get a little wheel poke?
How much stretch did you end up having ?
@@Gg-pp6el just the same width as the edge of the rim itself. Or a close to a pinky length. I can’t stick my pinky in it lol it’s perfect
@@airon6864 oh okay that sounds nice, but do you daily drive it ? If so, highway or street ? Any issues?

@@airon6864 wow seems like a very reliable car! Im not sure if i didn’t understand, but your saying you also daily drive your 18x9.5 235/40 set up ?
No need for a cheetah huh?
