please do some research, you don't seem to have any idea of what it takes to give your car a VIP stance.

it's not tire size that makes the difference, it's the fitment, the relation between the offset, fender clearance, poke, camber, toe, and tire size/stretch

with those rather conservative offsets, you arent even going to be flush, much less "VIP or EXE"

those tire sizes are if you are running very EXTREME/aggressive offsets, which you are not.

Tire stretching shouldn't be used for looks, but for clearing fenders if there's rubbing issues. Unless you plan on using spacers to push out your wheels further, I wouldn't recommend going for the stretched look with your current wheel setup.
