15"s with 55 wall are easy dumb shit try going with a bigger wheel with a low profile tire.. thick sidewalls is what makes stretching tires hard. Apparently you've never done anything serious just shitty looking 15"s

i call shenanigans on the 225/40/17 on the 11", only because only two tire companies make that size, and both are near impossible to get.
225/45 maybe.

For the record

1. Marshall your tires arent stretched, calling them squared up is even a stretch, no pun intended.

2. hahahahaahahahaha @ someone considering stretched tires something "serious"

Well, to me, if you look your tire up on Tire Rack and you're mounting it on a wheel that's in the "rim width range", it's not stretched. That's how you should be measuring the degree of stretched-ness.

By the way, a UHP tire like a DZ101 in a 255/40 size is rated for a 10" wheel.
Apparently a 225/45 on a 9 is outside the range, though. Who'd a thought.

slightly random: Yokohama S.drives come in neat sizes. 215/35-17 and 225/35-17.

And I like the Nth iteration of Jason Sink popping up. You're banned. Quit coming back. Especially to brag about stretching snow tires.
