Default Streching Tires

I need to strech tires on to my rims, cuz they rub bad and before they cause anymore damage I need to get'em streched. I need to know what size tire to get. I have 18x7 in the front and 18x8.5 in the rear. Any input would be appreciated.

Looking at your pic, it does not look like you have stock off sets. I would check into the offsets and post them up along with your current tire sizes.

Your current tire sizes are kinda meaty (they stick out from the lip). With the widths of those wheels, you would be a little streched to streached with 215-205 front and 235-225 rear.

As long as you offsets are not that low, we could roll your fenders to free up some space.

See the "Wheel Fitment Guide" above ^^^

Strictly going by the guide (see below), looks like you'll want 205's up front and 225's in back. Yet another case of much bigger wheels that can't run tires any wider than stock AP1 sizes!

snipped from the Wheel Fitment Guide:
For the front:
205 tires: +43 offset minimum (6.5
