im putting some bazreias on my s13 in a week or so, sizes are 18x9.5 -11 and 18x11.5 -23. i looked through the tire stretch thread and kinda think for daily road driving im going to go with falken 452s 225/35/18 and 255/35/18. anyone have any thoughts on this? stretch more less? thanks

Sounds good.
The smallest tires that would go on those sizs would probably be 215/35 and 245/35.

thats what i was thinking. i like the stretched look, but i would like to keep it somewhat mild. I really dont want to pop the bead and ruin rims ive waited almost 6months for lol.

I like to try to stay close to the stock diameter for tire sizing. I would do 225/40 18 up front and 265/35 18s for the rear.

explain why you would choose those sizes? only reason i thought 35 series up front was for rubbing reasons, im going to try and get this thing lowww. this is my first time buying a tire that i actually care what size it is.

Because I like having a bit of sidewall to protect my Work Equips. Right now, Im running a set of 18x10 +18 up front wrapped with 235/40 18 Dunlop Star Specs and 18x11.5 +19 with 265/35 18 BF Goodrich B5000 shred tires. Ill post pix when I get some shot.

no smaller than 225 in the front, 215s look goofy
