Default Tire/Wheel Speculations, any insight?

I apologize in advanced for my lack of knowledge, I have become very interested in getting that stretched look and am trying to figure out the details.

I am dropped about 3 inches on coils and am looking for a little more aggressive setup. I really like the stretch look when it's minor. I am thinking about something along the lines of this.

It says those tires are rated at 9 inches maximum width, so will the extra .75 inches give me that stretch look? Also, will most tires stretch another .75 past the recommended limit? .75 doesn't seem a lot to me but it's all about relativity. If I need like 1 inch or more to appear stretched, would these stretch to a 9.75? http://www.nlmotoring.com/Achilles-A...-225-45-18.htm

Also, I am considering these... https://www.nlmotoring.com/ProductDe...89142&CartID=2

This is a slightly less aggressive setup, being .25 inches thinner and having another 5mm offset to work out.

Waddya guys think? I'm running a 2012 TC2 White all stock
