what is the best stretch tire size for a 17 by 8.5 -7 offset?.. or might not work out as they only 8.5 wide!

try a 205/45 you should get a decent stretch. But the real q is why would you wanna run a stretch on a 8.5, you would be better off sticking with some higher offsets... I've fit 17x9+0 with 215/45 on stock s13 fenders with -3.5 camber which in an 17x8.5 would be 8.5 -6 so your best bet would probably be 205 or some 215's...

215 40 federals from aspec logan not a major stretch but my guess is your arent even tucking tire so it would look gay to strech it

I saw your wheels on VIPstylecars. Your offset isn't even NEGATIVE 7, it's 33. You don't need to stretch tires. You need to get SPACERS.

stretch....if your running that wheel, just a 215/40 will do the trick. why stretch a 205.????
