    Default Question about tyre stretching??

    The new rims i got for the 180sx
    are

    17 x 9 on rear

    17 x 8.5 on front

    What would be the safest, but the best size tyre i could stretch onto those rims that would look well and allow them to sit well under my wide arches??

    Would 215's be enough

    Thanks

    215's will go on handy there be very little stretch.

    Go for a 205/40R17 its the cheapest tyre in the 17" range and will have the stretched look,


    205/40R17 on 9" rim


    215/45R17 on 9" rim
