heartagram Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 165/50/15 on an 8J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Those are 185/45s on 8.5s - if you can find 175/45s then they would be ideal on 8s.Look on http://www.tyrestretch.com/ for an idea of how stretched a particular combo will be.

AwesomeAl Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ace:Look at... 8.5_215_40_R18_Falken FK4528.5_215_40_R18_Falken FK452^ Both of those are my wheels/tyres/photos ! haha. Where did they get those pics from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 165/50's FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I might try and reverse this trend. What's the widest tyre I can put on a 7J rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 ^ Both of those are my wheels/tyres/photos ! haha. Where did they get those pics from ?Think they got a lot of photos from our "Tyre Stretch Library" thread. Good idea to collect them from all over though, it's a pretty handy website.I've got 165/50's on my 8's. It is extreme though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the widest tyre I can put on a 7J rim?A 235 will fit, but will feel very floaty unless you get ones with very stiff (possibly reinforced) sidewalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'll have to see if I can squish some BMW run flats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
