go wider. That size belongs on a 7" wide rim, not a 9" wide rim.
stretching tires is lame.

And so is rubbing when running wider wheels with fat rubber.
If you dont mind me asking is there a reason you are going for a mildly stretched look or are you doing it for clearance issues?

i have 255-30's in the rear now with a sport drop and dont have any rubbing or clearance problems.
so since i have to change my rear tires since there almost done i rather go for a stretched look like on my dub plus the tires would be way cheaper.
so im guessing 225-40's for the front 18x8
and 235-40's for the rear 18x9 ??

Not feeling that at all. Go wider, not stretched.

The idea is to stretch the tire to prevent rubbing. Run a wider tire and you'll rub all day.

I guess I'm old school  I'd run the right width wheel. instead of a 10" width and stretched tire.

fixed.
stretching tires because you are so low and running well fitting wheels means you are cool. in the op's case i would say don't do it since you are not experiencing any problems with your current setup.

just get the right size (255 or larger). 225 or 235 is good for the front. you're not low enough to necessitate stretch.
its already hard enough on us stretch guys, don't make it worse by doing it for no reason.

You shouldn't have rubbing issues with even a 245 tire assuming you aren't going lower than 1.5". However, if you decide to stretch, watch those lips. One curb and say goodbye to your wheel.
