I'm going to be running this set up when I get my car back. Anyone have any experience with this amount of strech? I'm rubbing alot and I don't want to camber so I was forced to strech

Let me ask. Why are you running an 8" wide rim? Did you get a deal on these rims or something?

Just asking if anyone has had any experiences wether good or bad with stretched tires.

I'm running -1.5 camber up front and the 195's still rubbed so hopefully this will clear it up

what is your fear with running camber in the front? With a proper alignment and general tire rotations there should be zero issues running around -3. I assume the rims are a +25 offset and this is one of the challenges. GD? and what suspension? If you have not done a pull and roll you will need to as well. As for as the stretch goes, you should be fine with general driving but I would not autocross them for fear of sliding off of the bead. I have a buddy running 19x11 with 235/40 19 with a big stretch and it works but he does not daily it. Beware curbs and fear potholes!

It was a good set up while it lasted. But it made the ride so horrible, hard as hell. Running 15x7 now and back to a 195 55 15
