Tire Stretchers?

I could have sworn I saw someone on here that stretches tires. Here are my wheel and tire specs.
Work VS-XX 18x9.5, +19, 5x100
Federal 225/35/18

Let me know if you guys know someone. My guy that use to do this for me is not on the island anymore.

Federals run at least one size wider. It's a stretch but I've seen people running 205s on a 9.5 wheel before.

Actually 225's on a 9.5 is not that crazy. I ran 235's on my 9's and there was VERY minimal stretching. In fact, it wasn't even stretched, more so, the shoulder was just slightly in. Troy, you could probably post this on Forums Hawaii in the Nissan enthusiast section and get a quicker response. Good luck

I'm just a pawn in the wheel fitment game. A lot of the Norcal homies are really pushing the limits of wheel fitment, although not a lot of them are really stretching tires so to speak.

I can't stand stretched tires, it looks like crap when you got wide rims and you got like a 1/4 inch of the rims lip sticking out. To me it seems like the owner wants to invest so much on a rim and is to cheap to put a proper size tire on it. Believe me I get your trying to keep from rubbing but there are alternate methods of doing so. Bran808 has shown this many times over, hell I took a page from his book getting 275's to fit. Oh well to each his own, just my 2 copper pennies.
