i have a 215 falken 512 on a 9.5

215/45? 215/40?

225/35 on what width wheel? I've having a hard time deciding if I should run 215/40/17 or 225/35/17 on a 9.5" wheel.

19"x8"

Hardly a stretch. I'm most likely going to go 215/40 on a 9" and 225/40 on a 10"

205's on a 9.5"? That makes me feel silly for worrying about a 215 on a 9.5". Any pictures of your wheels/tires?

I have some pics. None are really good though. Here's about all I have





Make sure you get a good alignment

I'm running 512's. 205/45/16 on a 9.5, I love the stretch on them. The guy at discount told me that they were discontinued though? Any word?

Also has anyone heard anything about achilles tires? I was thinking about getting some 195/45/16 for a 8.5

^^ I'm thinkin that list is probably right...from what I've noticed at least.

My sister and I are both running 225/35. But her Falken 452s have less of a "stretch" (if you want to call it that, lol) than my Nitto NT555.

I find this list quite interesting and incredibly useful if it's accurate.

Question...I'm looking for some tires for an 8" front and 9.5" rear and I was considering going with 205/40 front and 215/40 rear. Should I go with a tire that's "known" to run wide?

512's stretch really nicely, and they're freaking easy on the wallet.

452s all day.

S.drives anyone? Wanna run 195/40/16 on a 8 and 215/40 on 10"

Do S.Drives stretch well?

I'd like to know the answer as well.

What Tire Brand/Model for my stretch (17x9 235/50/17)

hi im new to the forums and was hoping you guys with experience could guide me in the right direction.

I have a lowered 07 hyundai sonata (1.5~2"). iv gone through a few sets of wheels, mostly19s and 20s and just got tired of spending insane amounts of money on tires. so i bought myself some xxr 522 17x9 with a 42 mm offset. originally i wanted to put 255/45 but realized i would run into issues with my steering and suspension components up front. and 245/45 would lower my car a 1/3 of an inch which i dont want. so im left with 235/50 (which is closest to spec but are not recommended passed 8.5" rim)

iv read that falkens are great for stretching because they have stiffer sidewalls. at the moment im considering falken 912s. #1 does anyone with experience or knowledge think this "stretch" will be unsafe and #2 have any better brand or model tire they can recommend for my size and application?

Thanks for your time.
