Stretching a 225/35/19 on 9.0 wide rim?
I'm thinking of possibly getting bigger lips on my 360 Forged Wheels, making them from an 8.5 to a 9.0. I just got new Toyo 225/35/19 tires though...

You can stretch a 215 on a 9 with no problems. So you should be perfectly fine with a 225 on a 9 inch wheel.

Thanks guys... yeah I see its done here a lot, but my only concern is load rating. I'm already under Lexus recommended 90 load rating with an 88 rated tire. Stretching it even further, I see can only hurt the load rating even more...
Thoughts?
