The nankangs look stretched with no rim on...so it's a small tire. Absolute worst tire I ever had.

Essentially, it is how well the tires stretch due to their sidewall. All tire brands stretch differently because they way that they are made, hence this is why there is a large, small, and true category.

For example, my Yokohama S-Drive in the rear is a true stretch while my Toyo Extensa in the front is a small stretch.

By comparing the two different brands, you can clearly see that the Yokohama S-Drive doesn't appear to be as stretched as the Toyo Extensa.

Some good info here. And regarding square and round sidewalls. I'm not sure how to describe it exactly but would round sidewalls appear to be more stretched than square sidewalls?

And also, according to the list Nexen N3000s are true, but below it says its large. Do you know which one it is? I have the Nexens but I honestly cannot tell whether it's true or large because I have not had much experience with other tires.

Sorry, I cannot confirm exactly what Nexens run. It could be possible that the list is incorrect though. It is 2 years old.

Below car is stretching Nexen tires and they look like they run true to me. But I could be wrong. I haven't personally seen the sidewall of it, so I can't really confirm if the sidewall is squared or not, but that is perhaps why the list does at least mention that the sidewall is squared.

Im curious if its possible, I know someone with a +15 rear on a 10.5 that was hitting body to rim even with -3.5 camber.
i havn't driven on them yet no. i just installed my megan coils yesterday and im going to send the car off for an alignment tomorrow. i'll probably start off trying -3 camber and make adjustments from there. im running a stretched 255 tire on the back too so hopefully with a little bit of playing around with settings i can find something that works. ill keep you posted.

Oh I see, I'm almost positive you're going to need a smaller tire, like a 245 or maybe a 235. I'm pretty sure a 255 isn't going to work for a +5 rear.

I've seen nexens in person.... They look like they stretch like crap. One guy had it where the tire was super stretched, but it still filled the gap with the sidewall, so pretty much it was stretched with a small tire but looked like 0 stretch cause the sidewall stretched all the way to the end of the lip.

the rears are a +12 so im hoping it works. and the fronts are a 9.5 +7 stretched on a 225.

What's the most camber that anyone has been able to get up front? I'm going to need a lot haha.

I'm hoping with the camber plates on my coils and some aftermarket arms I can get to around -4 to -5.
