Don't Like Stretched Tire Look

[mfox]

OK, tire gurus.
What's the largest 19" size I can put on my stock 8" rim to get rid of that stretch tire look in the front.
But I would want the diameter to be close to the rear so what size would match on the 8.5" rear rim?

You think the stock tires look stretched?

Are you being serious ?
Or you really just don't have a reply?

I agree the front has a slight stretch look to it. I'm sure you could run either 235 or 245's up front without issue.

Yup that was a serious question.

Not sure what you mean by stretched, but I think the tires look a bit too narrow for the rims. I wish the tires were more flush with the wheel.

Exactly. Only the front.

Sorry then.
Yes I think the front look stretched.

I guess we have different definitions of stretched.

Considering this is odd size, I'm sure it was down on purpose. The front tires are slightly stretched (7.5 inch tire on 8 inch wheel) to preload the sidewalls for better steering response and feedback. You can probably get something like a 235 or even 245 on the front spending on make to fit "flush" but you will loose some steering response and sharpness.

Makes sense.

I'd love to see what a 275 on the stock rims looks like in back...

And I agree, a 245 in front would look great.
