Personally, I like this look with exposed rim edge on a 19" or 20" wheel - it just looks more aggressive to me..

Ive heard that leaving the rim exposed like that will lead to unwanted curb rashes. I dont think youll want that.

I'll just assume I'm wrong and haven't really seen stretch.

I do have another question though. I got 265 R and 225 F mounted now. When I picked them up the guy said that in the front with these I'm now under the recommended weight index...like now I'm at 86 and it should be 91...is this something I should be concerned about at all?

Load index? No, you're fine. The car comes with 225/255 OEM.

gizmo335i · 04-13-2012, 08:55 PM

Yeah I just figured out it's LOAD INDEX. So even though it's supposed to be 91 but I now have 88...it won't matter at all...

88 load index is still 1200lb/corner. The car isn't 4800 lbs.

gizmo335i · 04-13-2012, 09:11 PM

OK cool...I never knew about that at all...I learned a lot in this thread...can you tell me why 91 is recommended then?

Pcemkr · 04-13-2012, 09:17 PM

Well a load index is based on maximum tire pressure, so a higher load rating will be safer if the tire is under-inflated or running lower pressure.

gizmo335i · 04-13-2012, 09:29 PM

OK one last question..

What psi do you recommend for this?

I run 32f/34r on 18"s, but I think 35-38psi is recommended on 19" or when it's cooler. Hot summer = run 2-3psi lower.

Awesome...thanks so much for al the help and everyone else in this thread for dealing with my ignorance...

Nankang NSII's stretch very well. I'm running 225/30/20 on my my 20"x8.5" @ 42psi and they are SUPER thin... i call them my 'rubber bands'
