Ok, I am total noob and lack of tire knowledge. Trying to have some semi stretch on both front and rear wheels on stock body with roll + pull.
The wheel sizing are 17x8+5 and 17x9+3.

What would be my recommend tire sizing + what brand of tire is recommended? I heard that some tire with same sizing arent as stretched to some sort. I was looking into falken azenis, yokohama parada spec 2 and dunlop direzza d101 .

What ya thinking about 215/40/17 front and 235/40/17 rear?

flame anything, just help me out frenzy....

Thanks

215/40/17 front and 225/45/17 rear will give you the "euro strech" as i like to call it, most bmw's and merc's have a "slight" strech on the tires.

This thread belongs in the tech section but anyways....

Why would you need to stretch anyways? With the rear wheels you would just need to adjust your camber a bit and get some 245/35 tires. Rare size but gettable. For the fronts you would just do the same and set your front camber to about 1.5" with a 225/40.

And you have a roll & a pull already? Really what's the problem? You're rubbing? Coilovers? Drop height?

You need questions on tire fitment? That shouldn't be a problem at all...

225 will barely stretch, if any, on a 9 in wheel.

215/24/17 will have an ok stretch.

and i dont mess with anything lower than a 9 in wheel.

I've seen 235s look stretched on a 9" wheel.

It all depends on how wide/narrow the actual tire is, compared to the wheel.
