you can streatch a 205 over an 8in so i think 225 can get over a 9in, its not very safe though to streach them but it can de done. ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g75/zachpoland/untitledsetf.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g75/zachpoland/untitledsetf.jpg) ---

Stretching a tire is usually done on Euro-Style cars - Don’t do it. It will look like asshole on a Mustang. ---
