Bignosedbear Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 right, got to the stage with my porsche wheels that i need tyres. My wheels are 7''x16''do i go for 195/40/16's,185/50/16's or 165/40/16's? Would the 165's fit?? i want a decent stretch, but dont know whether the 195's will show any atall? has any one got pics of simular size wheels with either tyre on? If so, could you post a pic up pretty please. I've been on that tyre stretch calculater, but i want to see the devil in the flesh!!Thanks for your help in advance.Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 As far as i know you cant get 165 or 185's in 16's. I run 195x40x16 conti sport2 on my 7x16's border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 id recommend the 195/40/16 to be honest.stretching tyres on a bigger rim always looks odd to me. i prefer to see stretched tyres on smaller wheels.only my opinion though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bignosedbear Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 camskill.co.uk supply the 185's, and mytyres.co.uk supply the 165's. Yeah, very tempted to go with the 195's as you've got a wider range of makes of tyres. Thanks for your pics vwolks41.any more of the other tyre sizes would be ace!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Their a 50 profile though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> even with a stretch i think they might rub.

Kieron Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 195/40s is what I'm going to run but they're on 8's all round though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 195 on a 7.5 inch wheel doesnt look stretched realy so it certainly wont on a 7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Stick with a 195 but do some research into different makes and see what widths they are.Some makes are alot narrower then others, upto 10mm in some cases. They say 195's but their not when you measure them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
