What tire size for 19x9.5????
I'm currently running bridgestones 265/30/19 in the rear and I have a very mild stretch which works great, however I need some new tires.
I need a mild stretch and didn't know if I should stick with 265/30/19 or go with 255/30/19 or 245/35/19.
What would be a good recommendation for a very mild stretch and something that will last really long. I was looking into General UHP 245/35/19. Does any have any experience with these tires on a 9.5?
My car is really dumped with about -3.5 camber, but the 265/35/19 has lasted about 20k miles.
Thanks for the help.

Those sites are full of pictures and info. Just please be safe about stretching your tires. No need to run a 215 tire on a 9.5" wide wheel. If you have a leak or don't check your air pressure often, the damn tire will explode on you while driving with the possibility of injuring others and yourself. Then if you make it through that part safely, you still have to change to a spare on the side of the road while cars are passing you at 80+mph. Then you have to buy a new tire, wait for delivery, take your wheel to a shop, get it mounted, and pray it doesn't happen again.

Tabaka, thanks for your first hand experience with the dangers of stretching tires. Of course we at TR recommend staying within the manufacturers reco rim width range for whatever tire you want.
