> oh my tires are pretty much square, there’s a very very faint bulge but not noticable from far … they are a lil bit stretched though because from lookin at the tire, the end of the tread doesnt line up equally with the edge of the rim

Okay, i think you’re a little confused.

You cant have stretch and bulge unless your tire is… well defective or old.

Stretch is when your tire is too thin relative to the rim

Bulge is when your tire is too wide relative to the rim.

Tread doesnt need to line up PERFECTly with the rim. Tire manufacturers use different standards when measuring their tires. a 205 from Toyo and a 205 from Bridgestone may not be the exact same width when seated on a rim.

Dont go anything larger than 215 on a 7 IMO.
