I'll snap some more pics of the stretch tomorrow. These 235/40s are actually a better stretch than the 255/40's I had on the Emitz.

Yeah that stretch is super serious, hopefully those tires won't de-bead on you. But should look good

255 on 11 isnt really too crazy. I have 255/35/19 on a 19x12. But bender's 235/40/18 on 12j stretch sounds intense on paper

Um, The pics in the OP are taken with a d90 using a sigma 10-20mm and a 35mm 1.8. I just took quick snaps though, didn't use any lighting or anything

Vincent123 and I both have/are running 255's on 12" wide wheels so we're allowed to say it's not crazy on an 11"




Pics will be up in a few, snapping them now

it still trips me out that its a 235/40 on a 12! and it looks like a safer stretch than with the 255... Mindblown. So in theory I should be able to run a 235/40/19 on my 19x12's?

i see you got nicer pics now some on the car..

thank you

and that's a serious stretch i would love to go in on some ishh like that but i hear boost isn't to friendly when it comes to stretch but then i see people drift in some wheel setup like that so i don't know what to believe...
