Botelho 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hey guys im gonna instal my new rims which are 15x7. I want them to have a nice stretch on them. I was thinking of a 195/45R15. What are your recomendations? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 195.45 will not be stretched on a 7" rim Link to post Share on other sites
Botelho 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Really thats what i was told by Tirespot around the corner of my house. What do you reccomend? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 erm off top of my head 195/40 will a bit.....185/50 maybe.But stretch is difficult on a 7" wheel and not worth doing to be honest......195/45 sits nice on a 8" rim. I have 195/50 R888s on a 15 but they catch the arches at back at speed doing corners, as in track work Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Also you will loose some handling as well by stretching the tyres on.....not wise really with 170bhp thro front wheels Link to post Share on other sites
Botelho 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 im going to run 195/45r15 on the front and 185/50r15 on the rear with rear 1/4" spacers. Thx for the help. Link to post Share on other sites
