45 ish. on my daily fronts 225x35x20 on 20x9.5
45 ish on rears 265x30x20 on a 11"

higher when i had more of a stretch at one point i did hit a pothole and broke the bead on a 245x35x20 on a 10.5 wide rim... all of these were on on nitto 555's and one pair of general exclaims

i once tried to stretch a toyo expensive tire 255x30x20 on a 10.5 wide rim and this stretch seemed the most aggressive in appearance and in trying to get the tire to mount. i guess the tires themselves really can make or break a stretch; some stretch better than others.



right now i'm trying to get some ballpark specs for when i finally get some wheels for my new to me z4. my other car is really aggressive so i am not going for this look again intentionally but a lot of the wheels i really like are in the 5x114.3 bolt spacing and the smallest adapters i have found are 15mm so that makes all the wheels i find in the 114.3 spacing 15mm more aggressive when i put them on the z therefore limiting the selection severely. at this point i'm thinking 18's or 19's, but would prefer a set already in the 5x120 and fairly light so i don't have to put on some heavy rims + adapters + extra lugs etc etc...
