uhuhmm try running Achillies They have awesome stretch but no lie I pop 2 tires within 8 months after strong hits it took and never had them again

yokohama,michelins will be my next, youll have more luck to find those sizes
But like we all say you get what you pay for.
So hope you have some luck on the hankooks


you don't wanna try a 255 rears ?

My wheels are 20" 9.5 -11 and 10.5+12. I am on air and running some negative camber.


I would like to know what tire brands in sizes 225/35 and 245/35 have a similar stretch and lifespan as the hankooks in those same sizes.


Thanks.

As it is I'll be cutting it close fitting 245 in the rear without running too much neg camber. So far I'm leaning towards toyo extensas. Their sidewall when stretched doesn't look as aggressive as some other tires I've been researching.

Where do you live? I've got a pair of Toyo Extensas in that size 245/35 in my attic collecting dust, only have about 10k on them IIRC.

So on a coupe your fine, Just shave off that fender liner
Rears just might need some minor pull and run some negative camber about -6 max id say depending how low you go that determines a lot too plays work in this.


for tires Go hankooks all the way
Front your fine with a 225/35
Rears go with a 245/35 it will be a legit stretch so make sure to have good tires I ran that before and just don't hit pot holes and invest in good tire brands lol
rears youll need a 8-10mm pull hopefully
Thanks for the info I found some Falken 452's in 225/35 on ebay and will prob do Hankooks in the Rear

Me? Mine are Megan... rears have a lot of room still but don't have my camber kits installed yet. Fronts were pretty much maxed. I just raised them so I'm at 25.75" fender to ground, but I may go to around 26" all around. Think I read that's where most people sit.

Depends on what you want your camber to be set at.
I'm still on stock spec with my RE30s 19x10 +25 255/35 19x11 +15 285/35 no camber arms and looks good for me. I'd recommend bumping the rear at least to 275/35 to keep that 3 step different and avoid understeer.
