calling all tire gurus

Looking for some input regarding tires.

I'm about to pick up a set of Work Brombachers I ordered in November. They're 19x8.5f 19x10r.

I'm looking at buying Michelin PSS tires, 235/45 front, 265/35 rear. How much stretch will these tires have? I'm not into a whole lot of stretch. I also don't want the tires to be buldgey over the lip of the rim.

My stock tires are 225/45R18

I ran those widths on 7.5 and 9 inch wheels, so that will certainly be stretched, but probably not terribly so.

They certainly won't be over the lip, as mine were square to the lip.

So you're saying I could do 255/35 front and 295/30 rear? Abd that would not have stretch right?

that should work out to get that exta buldgey look on the top of the tire. the look should be looking a little more aggressive and rugged...manly the trick will be getting them on with out scratching the wheel when installing the tire. i have had that happen to me before

Yeah, your new sizes would look a lot closer to a square shoulder, less stretched.
