stretched tires on a dirty 250

Just got my fenders rolled and these tires mounted up and I'm loving it so much couldn't wait to snap pix. I can go a little wider tire in the back but I like how it looks for now.

The wheels are:

Linea Corse Lemans
19x8.5 +15/19x10 +20
Continental ExtremeContact DWS
215/35/19F 225/35/19R

Had to use a cheetah to fill the rears up with air.lol

That tire is not designed for that wheel, once the pressure goes low on your tires, theres a very good chance its coming off! Plus, it looks sooooo GHETO!

I was planning on going with that offset, do you know if you can sqeeze a wider tire in the front? How much clearance do you have in the rears? Will a 255 fit? Also what is your drop is it on springs or coils?

ok truthfully, that 225 on 10's is really only for in 'show', not for a daily/wkend type use... i am all for vipstretch *a minority here* but not a show stretch on a daily... but hey, DOOOO EEEETTTTTTT!!!!

Wheels look good but why you chose that tire is what I dont get. The stretch I dont mind because obviously its purely for looks.

On a side note, does anyone have a pic of these on a SGM in HyperBlack?

Rims and drop looks nice. However, the rears are overly stretched for a 10. You're putting your life and your passengers' life at risk, especially if you're planning on going to ski country. Try running 245 or 255s.
