Bought 15×8 wheels with -12 offset and I’m gonna be stretching the tires for a little extra clearance. What would be the best size? The trucks lowered about 3ish inches in the front and 3 and uh quarter in the rear and going to 4 inches when I install my new block set. I’m eye balling 165/50/15’s and 195/45/15’s. The photos on 18×7.85’s or some shit with like +30 offset and they had 225/40/18’s with very little stretch. Going down afew sizes.

15×8 isn’t very aggressive. 165/50 would be a pretty big stretch, 195/45 won’t be much of a stretch, I run that same size on my 15×8.5’s
I had 165/50 on 15x8J, they were NanKang NS-2’s. Had to blast them on but they worked great. I had 50psi in them without a problem. 50psi to keep them from debeading.
