leigh_harty Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 http://www.tyrestretch.com/scroll down to your rim size and click any of the tyre profiles for a picture of how that size looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domo Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) yeah but will 195/40s be enough stretch for 7s that stick out the arch but around 1.5cm roughly??piccies---- still 195/40s fit??

pro3mark Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think the only tires that may get those inside the arch are something silly like 155/65 R14 will be able to bring that in.What wheels are they?What Et are they without adapters?

pro3mark Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Oh yeah, i saw those on E38, i think low width, high profile (155/65 or 145/80) etc will be the only option, i can't see 195/40 giving you enough on a 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 tbh i dont see the point in running a tire on that width of wheel being any less than 165, and your not gonna get enought stretch, i have 165/60 on my 7's and theres a slight stretch tbh mate i think youre a buit buggered id run 195 40 and get those arches rolled and pulled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Without knowing what offset they are, there is no way anyone can recommend on a tyre. Without knowing the final offset you cannot quantify how much or how little stretch is needed.If the pics are anything to go off, They are gona stick out far too much on the front for you to even turn the wheel if lowered any amount.
