hey can you stretch a 18 tire on a 19 wheel i got a 19 by 9.5 wheel and im on a budget on tires so ha help me out here

NO! it would be unsafe to even try. IF you were able to get stretch a whole inch, it would be hella unsafe to drive on. Not only for you, your passangers, but other drivers/by-standards. The bead of the tire is reinforced so much more than the sidewall. when you stretch a tire you are making it wider than it was manufactured to be. There is no way to make a tire fit a wheel larger than it was manufactured to fit. I dont suggest even trying this.
Sell the wheels and get smaller wheels you can afford tires for..... Got pics?

Could you even find a shop that would even try to do such a thing? Its hard enough to stretch a tire's width!

BTW..i have some staggered 20 tires for sale if anyone is interested. Im in Renton. 235/35/20 and 275/30/20 appx 8/10 tread.

Yes its easy to roll rear fenders. Not so much fun to do the front.

There are a few peeps on here that have fender rollers. The trick is, to see if they will let you use it.

Just go -neg camber when you lower your 4x4 lol jk

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 absolutly 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?

^^^Be easy on the kid. He doesnt know what stretching is

Here is a skinny stretch tire on a wider wheel. I wouldnt recommend doing this, but to each their own.

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!
