Alright I bought some new m-par reps. I went wit the staggered set, 18x8 and 18x9.5 in the rear. Currently on my car I have a 245/40/18 ZR, I would like to transfer over the tires onto the new rims......BUT do any of you think that size of tire would be to small for the 9.5 in the back? Would it look stretched way more in the back than in the front?

I really want to use these tires because they are brand new. I would fo with some 265's but I dont got the $$ at the moment

TIA

it may look a little stretched, but you should be fine. I run 245/35 on my 9" front wheels

245 up front will look bunched up.
245 out back will look stretched.

It'll look ridiculous. Save up for some 265s.

Can you take some more pictures of the front? I'm thinking about running 245s all around on my 18 x 8s.

edit: nvm, saw your thread
