Anyone have a photo of a Michelin Pilot Super Sport in 255/35/19 on a 9.5" rim? Need new tires and have decided on PSS, but need to see how a 255 is stretched. -may step up to a 265 if it will fit.

I have the 255 and it is slightly stretched, but not much, fits very good and almost stock-like. Get the 255's.

Yeah same setup I have, was really worried about the stretch but unless you're really anal about stretch it's fine. Kind've grown on me actually. I can get you more pics if you'd like.

I have the same setup. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/12/bdc291df297b536e7c7bc571934556b8.jpg
Wheels are off the car for winter so I can easily get more pics if needed.

stretch is completely subjective.
like asking if a pair of pants fits snug or lose.

Subjective in what way? It either is or it isn't stretched, question is how much are you ok with?

Have the same tires and size on a 9.5. Looks very good with a drop. The 255/35 is rated for 8.5-10" width.
265 if you're not or it won't look right.

275 on 10.5, so same look. The PSS stretch so well. It's actually a great look with proper low. Tons more pics in my Flickr link…

I agree. Some people may think 255 on a 9.5 rim is too much stretch but it really isn't. Or some will even use a 255 on a 10 or 245 on a 9.5 or even 10 and that's excessive in my personal opinion.
