Default Best tires to go stretched...

Once Springs rolls around I would like to get new tires, looking to go 225/35/20 for the fronts (20x8.5 rims) and 255/30/20 rears (20x10)...

Any options other then the Falken FK-452—they only have 225/30 for the fronts...

Plus, any problems or worries I will be facing with going stretched, besides likely damaging the lips...

Thanks

Since you've already mentioned Falken, I'd say Toyo is another really good brand that stretches nicely. Quite a few of my friends with Euros like to run the Toyos just because of that reason.

yokohama actually rates their tires for wider than normal wheels...

for instance, a bfg might be for 7.5-9" wheel, whereas the same size tire in yokohama claims 8-10" wheel...

just something to look into...
