If they're the same, then why is there a stretch? I know there IS a stretch coz I'm runnin 225s on my 9Js, I just don't see how?

Its because of the way the tyres/ rims are measured. tyres are measured by the tread width, and rims the inside of the rim width, but the tread on flush tyres over laps to the outside of the rim if that makes any sense
