Default 2IS tire stretch HELP!

I wanna tuck nicely... and I have Tanabe Sustec Pro 5 Coilovers...

would a 255/30/20 be good.. or a 265/30/20?

You don't need to stretch anything with a +41 offset.

I'm not really familiar with 2IS offsets, but I think it's somewhat similar to 2GS offsets. You can probably fit a 285 if your fenders are rolled. A 275 if it's not rolled. And if you tuck they will fit even easier with camber.

should probably stretch it if you really want it slammed....255 and 265 are good conservative stretch...ran 255 on a 20x10 and it was barely noticeable of a stretch from outside appearance...

No stretch needed for that fitment.

I've done 20x10.5 with 295/25-20 on the 2IS with no fender rolling.

For an aggressive fit on the 2IS, run 350Z-ish offsets, +20 to +25
Would be cool with 225/30-20 front & 255-30-20 rear.

You could run a 255/30 on a +25 without rubbing? Right now, I'm running a 20x10 in back +30 on my IS350 with a 275/30 and it's rubbing like crazy. I've already had the fenders rolled and it still hits. I'm about to go get the fenders shaved. Would that be the better option, or just run 255 tires? I can't even lower the car until I sort this problem out.
