Stretched tires?
Is it safe to run a 215 tire on a 9.5 rim? I need feedback from people that have done something similar before. Please don't tell me to buy rims that fit.

I personally would not run a 215/ on a 9.5 however I have seen 215's on 10.5" on the street albeit a bit unsafe IMO.
I run 225/40's on my rear 9.5's and Have no issues and it looks almost normal.
215 on a 9.5 + Camber isn't going to be fun. What offset are you trying to fit?

Trying to run a 30 offset.
If i just use it for daily driving is it safe? Im not gonna track my car at all.
I just wanna know if the sidewall might fail
How often should i check the tire pressure since its so stretched?

I used to run 225/45/17 on a 10" wheel +35. All tires are different. You should be ok with the sidewall and you wouldn't have to check for air so often, just the normal routine. You just have to be a slow driver on the potholes or your wheels will get curbed on the inside. Then youll be leaking air if the damage is bad.
You should autox, it's so much fun. Give it a shot. I used to be hellaflush and I'm glad I left it.

Thanks for the reply. You see, im on a budget so the only way to make my car look nice are the rims. I think the the main reason people do hellaflush is because they are young and dont have the time and money to modify anything else. Maybe when i'm done with school, ill use s2000 as a track car. For now, its just gonna be a daily car used for showing off and posing. haha

There is a dark green with tan interior pure stock integra ls that goes to the local autox. Everything is factory. It's mainly getting the experience.
