    What Brand 235's For A Little Stretch On An 8.5"

    I know 235 isn't optimal for the stretched look on a 8.5" wheel but I know that 235 varies between brands. Who has the narrowest 235 out now? I am currently on Falken FK452's. I would say they are far from a bulky sidewall but are just barely stretched. Any better options than going 225?

    Post some pics if you have them. Thanks!

    keep in mind stretchy sidewall.. needs to be strong.. although i would never go for 225 on a 8.5 ( rubberbands pretty much ) - i'd try something like yokohama // advan or.. maybe even Nitto ( i know its rice rice baby - but primary clientele of these brands runs deep dishes quite often ) i've seen many stretched.
