Which tires run big for their size?
Reason I ask is I'm running 245 bridgestone potenza so2s and I rub a tiny bit
I've heard falken fk452s run big for their size and I'm looking for something tiny bit less square so I can keep my fitment
I'm looking at federals, so3s, toyos... Anyone have any experience with this stuff?
Thanks

i think you want something that stretches with a straighter sidewall, vs something that stretches with a round sidewall so /-----\ instead of (-----) right? well the stiffer the sidewall the straighter it stretches. so tires like ES100, falkens, dunlop FM901's, and pilot sports will give you more what your looking for vs like bridgestone potenza RE050a's or eagle RS-A's will give you a more bulging stretch.... hope this helps.

My friend and I both had 17 by 7.5 wheels. I have FK452 and he had Bridgestone something (I think RE92, but not sure. Stock 06 WRX tire). Mine were flush and his looked a little stretch.

Sup Malik,
Falken FK452's sidewall are less "square" then the Azenis RT-615 which has a stiffer sidewall construction for better cornering. If you want more of a stretch look run with FK452's. They also last longer and are better suited for a DD.
