Stretched tires are dumb.

If you lower the car, you will likely rub.

How you want your car to look is a personal choice. If you want a particular look, go with it, but be prepared to put up with any negative effects from it.

Stretched tyres are very popular in drifting circles. They wouldn't be doing it if it didn't work for them, but maybe the tyres they are using are made to be used on wider rims.

Most tyres are designed to fit a certain rim width, and the makers generally have listings of what size rims the tyres are designed for, as well as recommended maximum and minimum recommended rim widths. Stretched tyres will probably wear unevenly with the sides of the tread wearing faster. The grip levels could also be affected. If you are gojng to go this route, try and find a tyre shop that has experience with stretched tyres to see what brands and sizes they recommend.

Apparently I need to change how this is written.

175 series tire is almost 7 inches wide. So using the word stretched is not really what I am doing. I like the tread to be a little less then the rim width.

If you lower the car, you will likely rub.

I would go coil overs so likely would only go down an inch.

The main focus of this post was to get the overall diameter the same as factory.......

This is the same as the tire calculator I use. Does not take into account the rim width.

This is why I was picking this tire size. Think I would lose the 1% bigger diameter in the sidewall with the wider rims.
