PIX: Stretched 225/40 Falken Ziex on 18 X 9.0

This is my first stretched tires I've ran.  Hopefully these pictures will help others just to see what this specs and brand of tire looks like.

Specs:
225/40/18 Falken Ziex
18 X 9.0" wheel

I have a question... is this considered a mild stretch or pretty good stretch?
I was watching the tire shop mount these tires, and they didn't do anything special.  They just mount, add air, done.  So I am assuming this is a mild stretch?

Id say thats a damn good stretch. looks good!

I have the same size, in Wanli's, and your strecthed more than I am.

perfect! I'm getting the same tire on the same size rim. Looks good!

Good amount of stretch. Ziex 512 stretch similar to st115 from my experiences. Too bad I dont think they make them in 19s.

I noticed that even before the tire was mounted, it already has the stretched look.  So it seems as if it was made to have that look.

I have 215/40 up fronts on 8.0" wide tires, and it gives similar stretch.

The 225 cost me about $80, while the 215 cost me about $100.

where you get your tires at? YOu got any more pics? I'm getting 215/40/18 on a 18x8, and 225/40/18 on a 18x9

The ze512's have that rip protector thingy which gives it the strech look, so when you stretch it a little, it looks more stretched than it actually is.

Same setup as mine.  What car will you be running those on?

I got the tires from [url]www.edgeracing.com[/url]
I think the tires went up a few bucks.  So far, I think the Ziex is good because it's cheap, has a 360 rated treadwear, and looks pretty good.

My wheels are going on a non-vip platform car, acura tl. I got the wheels already, just looking for a good price on tires.
