Im currently trying to stretch my tires to gain a little more clearance and have heard mixed reviews. People have told me I need to get a thicker tire the more I stretch........ Any thoughts......... Need some tire suggestions???
This is my current set-up

Iconz Performance Wheel
Front: 19x9 et: 27.5
Rear: 19x10 et: 18.5

Current Rubber:
Front: 235/35/19
Rear: 255/30/19

I want to run a f:215 and r:235 setup. Any thoughts on thickness and tire brand???

You really only need 225/255... Falken 512/452, Dunlop DZ101, Toyo T1R

255 for the rear should be perfect. Front maybe run a 225?

Popular tires for stretching would be Falken FK452s or Ziex, but there are others like Toyo T1Rs that come to mind as well. Are you going to need more clearance because you're going to space the wheels out more?
