I'm just tired or hearing people talk about "how do I stretch tires" look it up before asking dumb questions.
It's as simple as that.
No offense, just tired of hearing it is all.

Yup, reading is your friend. You will probably find answers to questions that you would probably ask later down the road.

You can single out certain criterias by searching, "tire stretch" in the wheels/tires section. Oh, another simple rule, click on posts that has more than 2 pages of info. They will have the info or pics of what your looking for. 1 page threads are probably guys saying, "SEARCH" lol

when i stretched 225 35 19s on my 9.5 it wasnt hard at all to mount. just takes time
ps. im aware its not the most aggressive stretch but it sure makes curbs scary when parallel parking!

haha true true but yeah how much is the wheel stud replacement at discount tire and yeah im going with 255/35/19 on the 19.5 just for now

"stretching" a tire is simply putting a narrow tire on a wide rim.

Example: 205/40/19 tire would be a stretch for your 9.5" wide rim.
So, do you understand now?
thank you finally.... someone that can comprehend what he is saying......dont try it... I said this in my response.. and everyone is still saying ya but be careful.
