Why would you put stretched tyres on...is your aim worse handling?

Iv got 18x9.5+23 with a 235 40 18 achillies on my bugeye Sti. Guards are rolled and pumped by strickly stance perth and the backs stick out about 5mm. I had to get that offset to clear brembos but your spec should fit in nice

“Welcome to Lee Carvallo's Wheel fitting Challenge. I am Carvallo.

Now, choose a wheel. (Beep)
You have chosen XD9 18 x 9.5'. May I suggest an 18 x 8.5'? (Beep) 9.5'...
Now enter the offset of your wheel. I suggest +43.
(Beep, beep, beep) You have entered +23.
Now, stretch your tyres, roll and pump guards. (Beep beep beep)
"Car is in... parking lot" Would you like to have functionality or aesthetics? (Beep) You have selected, "No.”
