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

rimtuck.com is what i usually use to reference a stretch when customers come in wanting to stretch their tires. btw, give the guy a break, hes here to learn. and now he knows you shouldnt even think about 18s on a 19in wheel.
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!

Do you not understand the concept of stretched tires?
Is it that hard to understand?
Buy a skinnier tire, it'll stretch.
Putting a 18inch tire on a 19 inch rim will not work, and it has absolutely nothing to do with "stretching" a tire.
"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?
