will it be crazy stretched on a s14 rear ? rears have 3.5 inch lip and fronts are 19x8.5 +15 and possibly a 225/40/19 with 1.5 lip,
currently running 245/35 front and 285/30 rear

 

thats no wear near crazy stretch try 195 on a 12 inch rim

 

195 on 12j?

wat?

im running 215/40 on 9.5j daily so that is perfectly safe.

 

really, how do stretch tires do in the rain ?

 

better than wide tires actually ^
245 will be fine on 9.5, anything less is going to be hard to get someone to mount on 19s

 

You might want to do 245/40 just to have that extra sidewall when they mount the tire.

I tried mounting a 19x9.5 +25 on my 14 before just to see how it would look. Turns out I need a 15mm spacer in the rear and at least 10-15mm spacer in the front plus rolling the fenders and running 3-4 negative camber. The front will be hard to fit due to limitations, they never really meant to have anything bigger than 18" on the 14 technically. But people still do it.

 

how about 225/40/ in front on a 8.5 inch wheel ?

 

how did you need a spacer with +25 on the rear ? My +22 sits a little bit past the fender, no where near sunk in

 

You will have to check the clearance between tire&rim to springs. Very very close to each other.

225/40 on an 8.5 is very decent, almost flush.

 

oh ok, my wheel set up was on a 350z and with 285 on rear I have no issues on the stock suspension, I could use a roll, but that +22 puts that lip out there

 

Yeah, 19's on a Z33 is what they were built for, but on a 240, its really hard to do. I tried on my 14, you will need 10-15mm spacer in the front (your choice, but 10 would be fine) 10mm I think is fine in the rear.

 

Spacer ? I dont get it b/c my rear wheels are a little past the fender and not sunk in, and my front wheels are the same

 

Its not the outside that needs to be looked at, its the inside between the rim and spring, that is where the concern is. But if they fit, then youre fine I guess.

 

gotcha thanks

 

i ran a 225 on a 9 and 255 on a 10 which is a similar ratio to what you are talking about and it definitely was not a crazy stretch. Its the car in my sig. 19s are a bit large and certainly not ideal, but you can run them.

With those offsets on a 19, the out lip of the wheel is going to be pushing the limits of the stock body. When you run something like a 17 with a somewhat stretched tire, you have more room to play with on aggressive offsets
