do sum research before buying any ole tire. They are not all the same and dont 'stretch' the same.

must be sum crazy offsets that require a stretch that big

how do you think the Falken Fk425s will work out as far as being streched?

yea i need these specific tire sizes cause i am going to be running a really aggressive offset and the rims are going to be made to these specs only.

452s will be perfect and were built to be stretched.

On the other hand, they could be going on 19x8 and 19x9...
That would hardly have any stretch.

I wonder what the wheel sizes/offsets are

215/35-19 is going to look nutty on the front of the IS...
It's narrower than the OE tire!

I've seen these mounted on 19" wheels before; the sidewalls
are so short, at night it'll look like the car has no tires on it!

452's do not stretch as well as other tires especially when they are marketed towards the vip community.

Yokohama ES100's 235 on a 10"


Falken FK452's 235 on 10"


Same setup on same size wheel. Yokohama's stretched better than 452's hands down.
