If you go with a 255 on a 10 inch wide rim it will look similar to the pic with my Volk LE37s (black with polished lip)

A 245 on a 10 inch wide wheel will be stretched a lot more then that.

I will say that a 20x10+15 with a 255 will be pretty agressive. You may have to run a 245 to fit that offset but it will be more then a mild stretch thats the point i am trying to make to hopefully educate you prior to moving forward so you get the look you want.

245 and 275.

I ran into an evo on 10 inch wides with 245s and it was a stretch, however in my eyes it was nothing extreme and something im absolutely fine with. I looked up the tires he was running and they run true, as does the tire i went with. So it should be all good.

Coming in the mail tomorrow... Cant wait


Edit: your pictures and input really helped. Repped

Glad to hear! It will look sick, i never said it wouldnt look insanely hot!

I just wanted to make sure when you said slightly stretched you got exactly what you want since its like one of the biggest investments on the car you can make besides a turbo kit.

To me a slight stretch is like my stock Nismo wheels or my gloss black TE37s above.

I didnt want to phrase it like extreme stretch more of a slightly more stretch. If we started getting into the actual angle the tire sits at that may have been a little more of a precise way to speak about it! lol

Anyway those specs will look so good! I am psyched for you! Congrats
