For the front too? Also, I know you told me your brand of tire.. I haven't had a chance to look them up yet but I am assuming they are expensive.. Do you know any other brands off the top of your head that stretch like yours? My friend had some 225/45 on them and they did not look good.
Pics:


He never tried to finish them because he could not go lower because of his header. He gave the wheels to me and the 215/35's are almost brand new and he is giving them both to me for around 50$.

$500 for all four is a good deal considering that they're a pretty decent tire. I work for a wheel company that manufacturers wheels for Audi, VW, and BMW, and when we do wheel and tire packages for people we gravitate towards these tires because of the price and grip. Some people need all seasons, but since I'm in SoCal I just need summer tires. I have a 215/40 in the front on my 9.5s and they look great. I should go into my garage and snap a couple pics for you now.

For now, here's a pic my friend snapped during the install.

I know keychain "Keith" has 215/40 nankang ns2, you may want to check his to see the strech on his.

yup! Nankangs stretch really well because of the soft side wall.

But the Nankang NS-1s that I had were really loud.. Nankang says that the NS-2 's new design is supposed to fix that..

Here's an updated photo of the stretched tires.

If you get Hankook Ventus V12s, that's what you can expect with a 215/40/18.

I looked up the prices and I can get two of your tires for around 250. I believe that is what I will be going with. Thanks for all of your help! SICK car. One last thing.. Could you measure the top of your fender to the ground?
