For the 215/40 is it safe to stretch them out? Alot of wheel places seem to raise a flag??

With the fender pulling. What's techniques is involved exactly?

I don't think you even need a pull if you have 215/40s. Pm jeffpanya he's been on mb battles with those same specs in the rear.

2 questions.

1) Will a set of XXR 527's 17x8.25 fit on my coupe.

2) If I were to get tires for them that required a stretch would basic places like discount tire still mount them for me? (Gonna get some 205/45/17's)

1) EZ

2) You don't even need a stretch to fit those. Stretching on wheels that will be "sunken" defeats the purpose of stretching. Just go with 215/45 and call it a day.

Jeffiepanya was on 225/40 only cause the tires were given to him ...

As for the pulling I'm pretty sure he pulled on his front and rear fenders ..
