completely agree. On my STI, I had 18x9 rims and had the stock 245's on them. they were stretched and looked like crap, so I replaced them with 265's which was just about perfect. Stretched tires wear down quicker and yes, don't look right.
If you're going to run that wide of rims, get the tires that go with it. 225's on 9.5"???
But it's your car and if you like it, guess who cares what anyone else thinks.
