    I 55 series will be a taller sidewall than a 50 series. If you are looking to get that streched tire look, run a wider wheel, narrower tire, and lower profile tire.

    Keep in mind, these extreme tire streches are cool to look at, but make the tire very fragile and it will not operate as intended. A sidewall is part of the casing structure and designed to function at a certain angle. This is why most tire application guides have a "suggested wheel width" section.

    been there and done that. i've already had a setup like that. im not looking for a stretch look i want to fit the wheels on the tires that i have end of story. due the the fact that the wheel is a +10 offset it pushes the wheel more towards the fender.
