hey guys im a noob here, atleast to the tire department, my question for you, and im not looking to be flamed, just wanted to know is, can you stretch the tire on a stock ap2v1 rim? i know stock sizes are 245/45/17 and 225/45/17, but can i fit a 215/45/17 on the rear and a 205/45/17 on the front?

Stock size is 215/45 front and 245/40 rear. This has been covered before and IMO it's silly to try for that "look" on a stock wheel because they are so narrow, especially the front. Even a 205 on the front would not be a noticable stretch. If you want the look, keep the stock tire sizes and upgrade your wheel width to something like 8.5" front and 9.5" rear. At least that way you won't have a noticable loss in grip.

Im currently into that kind of look, im trying to go back to oem rims from the hella flush rims im on now, and just want a little stretch, i know its not going to be a big diff in being able to see it, but would like to give it a try, seeing how ive never really seen any body do it,

The purpose of this is to be able to fit "bling" wheels on to a car which they don't really fit. People who value looks over performance often do this. If you already have wheels that fit (OEM), there is no reason what so ever to downgrade the tire size. You're downgrading performance (and arguably, safety) for the sake of imitating people with "cool" rims. It makes you look like a broke wanna-be.

If you want to be a baller, at least buy big rims first. 18x10, +10 offset, non-staggered should do the trick. Slap some 225/35/18 tires on them and you'll be the coolest guy around.
