Do stretched tires perform much different than a non stretched tire? I would image so I am hoping some of you that are riding on stretched set ups can inform me of the expected differences. I have an 04 Auto TL 19x8.5 with 225/35/19 up front and 19x9.5 235/35/19 on rear 35mm offset on both.

 

no reason to be runnin a 225/35 in the front with those specs...if u were sittin flush and dropped pretty good i could understand...i would bring that to a 235/ front...and in the rear u could do a 245 series...alittle stretch wont hurt but needs to be justified to do it

 

i agree with those specs you shouldnt need to stretch your tires unless you are pretty low but even then i dont see the need for much stretch. also what tires are you using. different tires react differently to stretch so if you are stretching you will want to have a tire that stretches well.

 

Im dropped HT spec 2. 2" to 2 1/4" all around without being rolled. Tires seem to be just clearing the fenders as it sits I was afraid if I went a little wider I would need a roll. I will post pics later.

 

need to pics to see where you stand...but from the specs you listed, i would just go with a 235/35 all the way around.

i'm running a 225/35 on mine but i have much more aggressive specs than you.

always always run a more appropriately sized tire if you can. more cushion, no exposed lips, more comfortable, better handling, you get the idea.

in for pics.

 

yes...in for pics as well...i am in the same boat about buying less wider tires so i can put spacers on...
