Do you know what his offsets are? and what size tire?

do you know what his final et is?
Running crazy stretch on a rear tire is fine because the rear doesn't experience very much (if at all) lateral force during driving or turning..... a front tire on the other experiences alot of lateral force...

205/45 may be huge on a 7" wheel... but i disagree when its on a 9.5" wheel... when you stretch a tire, the overall rolling diameter gets smaller...

I have 205/45 on my 9.5.
They are 15s, not 16s, but a 205/45 on a 9.5 is not 'huge' by any stretch of the imagination.
It matches a 195/45 on a 9 almost to a 'T'.

flares are glued on with urathane
and i love the look and fit of my 215/40 falken 512s, if u can't find'em go with falken 452s ...give or take the same look/stretch, stickier with stiffer sidewalls

if you want clearance, run a 215/35, itll be tiny and stretched like a 195/40 on an 8 but youll have clearance a 205/45 is going to be huge

on my mkiv i had 215/45 on 17x8 and 215/45 on 17x9.5
it looked stupid cause the front wheels were taller than the rear...
and to those of you who said you have/are running 9.5" all around. I'm really really really very interested in the final offsets you ran.
