Default Stretch Tire ?

I'm getting new wheels they are 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +38. What tire sizes would I have to get to accomplish the stretched look?

Why do you want to stretch your tires for those offsets? You don't even need to do fender mods.

That is true also.

94gsr-t: VIP cars need to stretch tires for fender clearance because of their aggressive wheels/offsets. It will look weird if you stretch tires on non-aggressive fitment wheels. You're good with just 245 in front and 275 in the rear.
