Default Need help with Stance!!!!

So my car is currently sitting on 17x7.5 drag dr31's (El Cheapos). I am going to order a set of Rota Grids 18x9.5, I just need help and picking the tires that are going to give me that stance look, im sitting on tein s-techs right now, so about 1 finger gap all the way around. I will be getting coilovers soon. But how can I get the tire stretch look? As far as what tires should I order that will look the best? Thanks guys!

i recommend 225/40 for a 9.5 inch wheel. You can go narrower like 215/40, but why spend extra money on harder-to-find sizes. get the smaller size if you're going to be slammed/tucking tire. 225/40 is made by every company, so they cost less. i have 215/40, which cost about $15 more per tire than a 225/40. I recommend Achilles ATRs because they stretch well and they're inexpensive (I have these).

Here's a 225/40 Falken 452 on a 18x9.5 Rota Grid.
