Default Stretch?

Hey CL I recently got some MB battles for my 99 sc...and I got some tanabe sustec supra coilovers so I want to know if anyone knows what size stretched tires will fit on them... My fronts are18x8 235/40zr18 my rears are 18x9 275/35r18. Can someone help me out. Im not looking for a big stretch, just something decent.

For those widths, I'd suggest not stretching as the tires width is already too narrow... Ride will be supper crappy you're gonna want to drive your SC through a wall...

What about for the rears? Cause they rub in every little bump and its not even lowered?

yeah and my wheels are .5 wider front and back.

basically looks the same in the front also. the rim does not go out pass the tire(falken ziex 512) other tires will actually stretch less. i am going hankook v12 265 or 275/40/18 for my next tire in the rear as they look more aggressive from a side view and dont stretch as much. i'll be honest i would go at lest 255 unless you have low offset wheels and a significant drop, i hate how my car looks with that gap and a stretched tire, needs some meat!
