Im thinking of running the 19x9.5 wheels on my box because of the 3" lip. If I mount that on a 235 tire would it stretch it too much?

It would totally depend on the offset, Im trying to find out in the 9.5 is too wide for 235 tire. I found out yesterday from a friend who runs a tire shop, said the 9.5 would stretch the 235 so much that it would be dangerous to ride on. If it was a 8.5 or 9, it be still ok, but that extra half an inch is too much. A widebody you would need a lower offset say like a +20 or +25.. as opposed to the stock +48. Most of the wheels on the market are a +35, which is only 13mm difference..about an inch or so which wouldnt make that much difference since the stock wheel sits in a bit from the fender, the +35 would take it out to the fender.

Hey hotthatch69, its nice to have you on here, but you need to tone down the CAPS.

OK here is the poop on 19x9.5 rims and 235 tires.  First you did not say what tire exactly or give a tire profile.  If you were to run say the Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 235/55-19 they give a rim width range of 6.5" - 8.5".  If you were to run the Michelin Pilot Sport PS3 235/35-19 they give a rim width range of 8" - 9.5".   So you see it really depends on the exact tire as to weather it would hurt or stretch the tire.  I will say one thing, it is not wise to exceed the tire manufactures recommendation.  You may also find it difficult to find a reputable company that will mount tires on rims that exceed the tire manufactures recommended width.  This is because as a professional they are suppose to know better and if something happened they could be held liable, i.e. sued big time.  Another thing I would worry about is with a 19x9.5 rim it is going to be very heavy.  This in not something that is good for handling or braking although it may look good at shows.

hey HOTTHATCH69

im new here, tried to pm you but dont think it worked..anywho's
im going for the same size on the axis wheels..questions

did you have to roll the fenders?
what type of springs are you using?

thank you..do appreciated!

looks good!  Welcome shasta!

Ended up with 19x8.5 front at +35 offset and a rear of 19x9.5 with a +45 offset. Front sticks out a lil, no problem on braking since I have the huge Rotora BBK. Probably will notice issues with gas mileage but I dont drive it all that much so its ok. Had the box since Feb, its got 4200 miles on it and 2300 was from going to Scion United and LA for the BBK.

it all depending on the wheel make and if you upgraded to bigger brakes,

Im going +45 offset  9.5 on the back, +35 offset 8.5 in the front (19's) ..


to confirm what HOTTHATCH69 said  is true..
