Ok, so I wanna mildly stretch my tires on the Lexus so I can slam the bitch I just don't know what size tires I need to use for my wheels...

They are 18x9 maybe 9.5 & the fronts are 18x7 or 7.5

What would look good on that size wheel but not look to retarded?:???:

Also, you might wanna get the exact measurements for the widths of your wheels because 1/2" will make a ton of difference when trying to get the right stretch.

put a 225/40 on the 9" and a 205/40 on the 7"

you cant really find smaller than a 205 and expect a stretch on that narrow of a wheel.

also depending on the tire brand you may be able to get away with a 215 on the 9. :goodjob:

Thats all relative to what you think looks good. The best thing to do is find some pics of particular tires on the rims. Different tires will stretch differently. An advan neova is way wider than a dunlop direzza. I ran a 235 on a 9.5 inch tire and it was pretty stretched. I dont recommend that.
