This is a question for all you that run stretch. Is running 245/35/19x9.5 rear and 225/35/19x8.5 front too aggressive?? What is a typical stretch setup in those sizes.

nope, i was running 235/35/19 for 19x10, i think should should be fine! typical stretch for fk452 would be 225/35 for 9 and 235/35 for 10

Agreed, I have 215/35/19's on 8.5 and 235/35/19's on 9.5 and have no problems at all. I may even decide to drop down to 225/35/19's on my 9.5's because my 235/35's seem to be a mild stretch, but that's all I need, it not like I'm running super low offsets and I need more clearance.

lookin good benji. That's some stretch you got there. Is your car a daily driver or a garage queen?

Man that would be real stretched. Anyways, I found Falken's Fk-452 chart with sizing. Hope it helps you out. http://www.fk452.com/sizes.html

why are you stretching the tires? does it look better? just curious..

stretch tires:

- very VIP
- aesthetic reasons
- allows for a very low stance (especially with an air runner suspension
large wheels with low offset)

Thanks, I could've gone down to 225/35's in the rear, but it would probably be more of an overkill for fender clearance issues. Its a daily driver.

ry to find FK451's...They stretch a lil better

The 452 is a great tire (as always with FALKEN) but the difference between the 452's and 451's of the same size is very noticable.
