I've searched around a bit and haven't really found any good pics of Nexens stretched or heard how well they stretch. So how well do they stretch? Compared to some other tires? Anything I should look out for? I like them because they're cheap and I've heard they don't chunk too bad. My plan is to run 225/45R16 Nexens on 16x10 Diamonds. Thanks!

Honestly, i'll see to find some pics.

A buddy of mine stretched them and i stretched a 225/40/18 on my 10.5, drifted a couple of times, but nothing major.

I like them at least for th emost part of being better than nangkangs lol.

Sweet, thanks a lot! Much appreciated. Seems like they stretch good. They seem to run sort of wider like Federals do, cause usually 225 on a 10 is a pretty big stretch and that doesn't seem too bad, still looks good though. Nice wheels too BTW.

they strech pretty well but over all they are great rear tyres they last forever. My favorite rear tyre by far.

Thanks for the info. Do you think a 205/50R16 is possible on a 16x10... well I guess I know it's possible, but, streetable? Seen it done before?
