I haven't been around this site much lately, just wondering if anyone is running flush wheels yet on a J-Body? If so lets see your stuff along with wheel and tire specs.

I might be crazy but i'm about to order some 17x9 +30mm offset wheels and wrap them in 205/45/17 tires for my 02 Z24....

It's getting APC stickers?

But seriously, to answer your original question, I'd pick a lower profile wider tire, instead of stretching the piss out of a narrow one. Maybe a 235/35 or a 225/40. Also, I'm not sure you'll have the inside clearance for a 9" with a +30 offset. You may need a little lower, which would push the wheels beyond flush.

The stretched tire is all about fender clearance. If i were to run a wider tire that was square to the rim the fender would be sitting right on it...

A 17x9 +30 compared to my current wheels will only extend inward (towards the strut) 1mm and will extend out an extra 37mm.


The only other tire size i am considering is a 205/50/17.

Those will at least give you the right overall height. Definitely post pics when they're on. I'm curious to see how it turns out.

i'll be curious to see how this turns out.

i'll say up front though that i'm NOT a fan of the stretched tire look.

Here is what 9" looks like on a J.. Sick and massive lol.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.
