Bealieboy 1,625 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 It's quite a stretch on 9" run I would think. Take the tyre and rim into a tyre place, they'll soon tell you. Not the high street tyre places though! bennyk, redvr6_girl and VR6DEN 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Gwr corrado 189 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) 205 will go on but how hard do you drive as thats quite a stretch , hitting a pot hole etc could cause a whole load of bother fella . Would look good though lol Edited January 30, 2015 by Gwr corrado redvr6_girl, VR6DEN and Bealieboy 3 Link to post Share on other sites

daveyboy 897 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I've 205's on 8.5j and it's a nice stretch will half an inch make it too much I'm not sure all you can do is try mate if you've got some tyres sitting about already Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Did he put them on and inflate straight away or did he have to try and seal the tyre bead? Link to post Share on other sites

Duke Steel 4 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi All,Is it possible to stretch tyres 205 45 16 on a 9 inch wide wheel ?I am trying to recycle...And would it be safe.Cheers,Den.It isn't regarded as safe in the eyes of tyre manufacturers , it does depend on driving style and journeys you put the tyre through.I run stretch but would I do 300 miles at high speeds and big cornering with my Son in the car . No .Also help yourself by putting a good quality tyre on and keep your tyre pressures correct.Good luck. Gwr corrado, daveyboy and VR6DEN 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Gwr corrado 189 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Totally agree with duke , a lot does depend on driving . I really like the look but when driving a 600 bhp Scoob it's a no no as I thrash theNuts out of her tbh Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 That last video is Gethan in his 500+bhp VRT. I think the tyre blew out at 217mph Gwr corrado, bennyk, Bealieboy and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
