some guidelines:

1) you cant be flush at stock ride height

3) you cant be flush without negative camber
4) you cant be flush without poke
5) you cant be flush without rubbing
Thats too clean! Some close to how my civic looks and i want my IS to look the Same

You gotta pay to play dude. If you stretch you increase the chances of your wheels getting messed up.

No doubt, the more you stretch the more stretch marks you will get and of course, it's not a safe setup.

Sorry..i havent been checking the forum. But im rocking
19x8 +8 in the front and a 19x10+22 in the rear. 215/35/19 and 235/35/19. AWD but i think im still within spec since the 235 is stretched to match the 215 OD. I wish i was a good photographer, i cant get these black wheels to look as good on camera.
