Neilp Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Im gonna be going the stretched Tyres on my lmgt4's for shows. The car won't be doing massive speeds on these wheels just to and from shows What tyre sizes should I be going for. Wheels have fitted now 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. 8.5" on front 9.5" on rear Cheers guys I may add I'm not looking for massive stetch just enough to make it look a bit more aggressive without hitting the arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 go on the tyre sites and look under the "ghey" section all the info is in there on a more useful basis; how stretched do you want to go, are we talking a little stretch or so stretched you can see the rim on its own and it look slike the tyre was painted on?

TADDY Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 there's alot of people on here that dont agree with tyre streching, if its what you like then just ignore them lol I run the same size wheels as the nismo's and all i did was throw the front 245's on the rear and then get some 225's for the front, not a massive stretch but looks good imo and this way you only have to buy two tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I had stretched tyres on those very wheels, the only downside is that the car tends to skip sideways when cornering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I may add I'm not looking for massive stetch just enough to make it look a bit more aggressive without hitting the arches Neil, going the Euro look (stretched) will have the opposite effect and will pull the tyre away from the arch mate, creating a gap. The Euro look is basically only for show cars and is potentially a real hazzard for road driiving also there are legal implications involved regarding this, of which I am not to sure. You have now got me totally confused mate, one minute you are building a track warrior and the next you are building a show car. Do you have a second car that you are not telling us about?

Do you have a second car that you are not telling us about? +1 I am a confused But, aggressive, do the lmgt4s really stick out enough to be considered aggressive? Thought the idea was you'd have lip/rim showing but no rubber? I.e. 10-12" widths with low offsets and maybe 245 tyres? That or massive spacers? http://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tire ... lcome.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao I'm showing my track car lol I'll do it for as long as I can until the money runs out lol. I was considering slightly stretched so when I run spacers on the rays I don't need to take them off when I put the 19's back on. It was the drift look I was wanting rather than euro lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
