2010 Chevy Malibu

[RYgoBOOM]

Welp, I had my car looking pretty solid but I'm never happy with anything so I decided to sell my wheels and look into a bag setup.

Here is what she looked like with the 22s.



Had solid stance but I wanted it lower+wider and my 22x8.5s were just too skinny to make me happy. It was lowered with cut H&R springs in front and un cut H&R's in the back. I have about 1200lbs of car audio shit in my trunk so I didn't need to cut the back due to the weight lol.


That leads me to where I'm at now. I decided I wanted to go the fitment route vs just throwing on big rims and dropping it.

With that I will be the first Malibu to run 20x10's. Obviously won't bolt right up as It will need a good bit of fender body work but if I can make it happen I hope it will be a crowd pleaser Originality>>> IMO.


Here are the new pickups.....Stance SC-5's. Found them for a steal on ebay and once they get here they will be going straight to my powder coater Then I will be looking into bag setups and hopefully start piecing it together with the next month or 2!



Here is how she sits now :/ RIP 22s

What do you guys think as far as stretch? And what tire out now are most people running for that wild look?

Was thinking maybe 235/35/20 up front and 245/35/20 in back? My concern is all the weight in my trunk......

Any thoughts?

im on 20s as well if you want a good stretch you will have to run a smaller tire im running 225/30s all around and I also have a lot of weight in my trunk. click the link on my signature so you can get an idea of what the stretch looks like

Damn that makes me nervous lol. I ran 225/30s on my 22s before it they even stretched a tad on small wheels lol.

I'm also reading that some brands stretch better than others?

Some brands run narrower, (not so much brands as individual models), for exmple Falken FK452's run narrower than Hankook ventus V12's etc. Also some brands have softer sidewalls that will make mounting them easier as well. For example Nankang NSII's run softer sidwalls than some other models, so if you need to resort to a cheetah to mount the tires an NSII will be easier to bow out.

Sweet man thanks for the info. I was looking into those FK452s earlier and liked them. Good to hear they are a tab more narrow as that will help the stretch look right?

Also, I'm seeing people say the stretch won't be wild at all on 235/35 and 245/35?

Are you MaliBOOM from over on the SMD forums by chance?

Either way, Im looking forward to what you're gonna do to this thing!

sure am lol. And thanks man. Got some pretty big plans for it

[RYgoBOOM]

So if I'm looking at a scale of 1-3 being mild to wild. If i want to be borderline 2-3 would the Nankang NS-20s in 235/30/20 up front on 245/30/20 in rear work? Or is the Falken 452 better as far as stretch?

Hmmmm.

It's hard to find examples of 20x10s since most are running 10.5's :-/

[RYgoBOOM]

These 452s look sick on these 20x10s.



245/30/20 up front
255/30/20 in back

I wish I could see a close up of this wheel tire combo


If I did 235 up front and 245 in rear it would give me a tad more stretch then this look correct? Or would the difference not be noticeable enough?

[RYgoBOOM]

Found 2 used 245/30/20 Falken 452s locally with 90+ tread for 250?

If this 235/30/20 up front 245/30/20 in rear will work then I can jump on this deal.


Help me out guys!

Any thoughts?

Found these for comparison. Diff brands but hoping it helps me narrow down what size to go with.

This is a nexen n3000 245/35/20 on a 20x10




I really like that look but the 235 looks good too.

Here is a 235/35 vs a 225/35 which I think might be too much for all the weight I will have.

I would personally go 225. Anyone I come across who starts out stretching tires their first time is always terrified of mild stretch, and then they look back and go "Fuck, I should have gone down 10mm in tire size and not been such a pussy." If you want this shit to sit proper you need stretch, especially static. The bagged guys can get away with less stretch, but static dudes need to turn while they're down so you're gonna appreciate the extra clearance.

tl;dr: Don't be scared of stretch lol
