Review: 2016 FK2R Civic Type-R Turbo

No, I mean their tyres look fine without any looks of stretching because you said 19 inch rims are normally quite wide. But they are using Pirelli P-Zero instead.

Stretch always depends on tyre width against rim width. The picture you post is taken directly, if taken from the side probably can see the stretch

But nowadays got many sedans especially German cars with already 245-265 front tires.

It all depends on there offset and car built. If got lots of space wide tyres for sure can go in

Hmm, if 19" are normally wide, why din't the OEM manufacturers made the rim less wider to fit the 235 tyres nicely? Or is there a minimum width that they must follow?

Probably they think when use 19" will use really wide tyres....lol

My relative owns a Z33 Fairlady Z and he uses 19 inch RAYS CE28 rims. His front tyres are already sized at 245/35/19 but they are still stretched. Must be quite wide rims.

Yup, like the E250/300 already use 265 all around. Even Mark X actually can use 245 front with 8.5jj rims (but std only 225 for X120 & 235 for X130).

19" have from 8 to 10.5", maybe the ones on the Z33 is the wider one....

could be a 9 or 9.5 if it looks stretched on 235/35/19 tyres. Although some tyres like Falkens or Toyos are known to look more stretched compared to the European tyres

True also, tyres like S-Drive have square shoulder pattern that makes them look wider.....
