stretching characteristics of ES100's for 9F 10.5R

Hey guys,
trying to see if anyone is familiar with the stretching characteristics of the ES100. Mostly likely I will being with these. i wanted to see if you guys had pictures of different sized 'stretches' so i can compare. my set up is 20x9 + 30 and 20x10.5 +29 traffic star RTS going on a 98 GS. I like to ride at a ride high right on the tire. probably going to go with tein cs since its an everyday driver. going to also have the rear completely shaved and the fronts rolled. i want to be as flush as possible to the fenders so im thinking i might have to add a spacers to the front, but not sure. any kind of input from you guys on tire size recommendation or anything else regarding fitment/suspension would be much appreciated.

thanks for the pic viplife. can you give me the wheel size/ width, and the tire size? So what tire size you think i should get for my set up? I dont want such an extreme stretch, just enough to ease rubbing issues.

i'd say 235/35 for the front and 255/35 for the rear.

caoboy, do you think 225/35 will work for the front? and look even with 255/35R

ES100s strech nicely IMO. Theyre on the noisy side though and tire wear isnt great from what ive seen.
