Each tire companies specs will be different. Nitto will have more of a stretch look than say, Goodyear on the same tire spec.

Example, Goodyears 235/40 could have the same stretch appeal to a Nitto 245/40. Just sayine

*****, cant wait to see some pics

Nankangs stretch really good and are cheap. I'm happy with the 225/35 on a 10. Dont have any pictures but the lip is fully exposed. Only drawback to a severe stretch on a DD is that i have to run 45-50 psi in the tires to keep them beaded. That with old single tap JIC SF1s makes for a harsh ride.

Nice, looking forward to seeing it dropped!

How low is it going to drop?

lol...damn your rubbing at that height?! Looks like you will need some major pulling...I'm no expert in that field. lol Your fenders already rolled completely flat?
