That's what I have on my car right now. 225/35/20 and 245/35/20. No problems for me. Ill probably be going 235 in the rear next time so that I can add a spacer.

I can vouch for that statement. I executed some fairly aggressive turns in his car with those tires and wheels with crazy offsets and didn't encounter any rubbing.

did you just pull that statement out of your a**? lol
stretched tires/rims are more prone to damage. you have to be more careful for sure.
dont even think about grazing against a curb, or go through an automatic car wash with floor rails. and lets not forget about potholes.

I've had falkens ''on a fee cars. They are good. As for 'turboawd'. Anyone paying good money for wheels is clearly going to be careful driving and parking. If you stretch... Be aware that much more.

no man im pulling it from 10 years of experience doing this

curbing is curbing and unless you have some ulta beefy tires like offroads, the sidewalls flex against the curb and the rim gets fucked up anyway

potholes? what about em? i hit them everyday with my stretched setup and no beds or air loss.

you dont have to be more careful, and you shouldnt be going through an auto car wash to start with
