I recently purchased a set of wheels and tyres for my FL from @RicKii`` and as much as I love the guy, the tyres have an almost "stretched" look to them. The first thing my brother in law said to me when he saw the car with these wheels & tyres was exactly that.
To be clear, I don't like stretched tyres. I like tyres that extend out beyond the rim by a few mm at least. I also like a nice square tyre profile so the tyre wall goes straight up and makes a sharp 90 degree angle into the tread.
The tyres are Conti 235/40/18s. I am wondering if I need to change to a 245 or if there is a different brand/style of sidewall from another manufacturer that will give me the look I want. I also don't know if a 245 will rub. FYI the Evo X rims are 18x8.5 +38 offset.
