VRmonster 1 Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 i guess no-one knows anything about stretching tyres over wide rims. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Olly_K Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 put it this way, im stretching a 205 wide tyre over an 8J rim. so i would guess for a stretched look on those wheels you've got, maybe 175-185 ? maybe 165 ?personally i only think the "stretched" look looks good on really wide wheels. It doesnt even look that good on mine Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 i dont think its the width sometimes, as much as the diameter that makes the wheel look fat when a tyre is stretched! Link to post Share on other sites
Valver 0 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 6" wheel would prob need 165/45 tyre for stretch look but you're not gonna have much typre contact on the road surface with 165s imo.....I'm running 9s with 205s prob a bit too stretched tbh, gonna change to 215s next time for peace of mind. Alos, some tyres give more rim protection than others when stretched.... Link to post Share on other sites
