i have 17x9 wheels with 215/40r17 federals on them. is it me or do they run like a 225?
what tire would give me a nice stretch? thanks for the help in advance

 

Federals run wide. Falkens, Nankangs, Hankooks and Triangles stretch well in my experience.

 

what about kumho or yokohoma? i get deals on those thats why i ask lo

 

nitto neo gen! take to camber wear very well

 

Im pretty sure yokohamas run wide not sure about kumhos tho

 

anyone stretch yoko s drives on a 17x9?
or nankang?

 

X2 those have really strong firewalls .... Thas the ones I'm running on a 17x9.5 215/45/17

 

Have kumho's stretched 215/45 on a 9.75 got a really good stretch perfect in my opinion but if you plan on running aggressive camber you might as well just stick to the cheap tires your gonna be going through them every 6 months but if I were you I would run a 205 on a 9 there's a whole website dedicated to tire stretch just google it you can enter the info your looking for and see pics that match the specs your trying to run.

 

Falken 912s running -4 camber in the rear and -2 in the front since October..and I can't tell that they are wearing at all. Have at least 10,000 miles on them.

 

Must be nice lol I barely have any camber and have my tires for 15k plus miles and I can diff tell the wear on the inside

 

225 won't stretch enough. I'm pretty sure I'm gna go with a 215/40 yoko. Thanks for the input guys

 

on a 9 i would do 205. I have a 205 on a 9.5 right now with no problems. I run a 215 on my 10.5
