wowww, i likeee! wicked fitment.

on subject though. i run slightly stretched tires because i like the stiffer sidewall, i like how it looks, it makes wheels fit nicer in my opinion, and my car doesn’t make the pony’s to effortlessly slide proper fitting tires on a 9.5" rim. i also pretty much dislike any car regardless of how baller everything is, if the wheels don’t fit flush, and i could fit a finger between the fender and tire. that’s just my preference though. which i’m sure some people will bash on.

in spring, i’ll be running 235/40’s on 9.5" in the rear, and 225/40’s on 9.5" in the front. nothing crazy.
