No they are 4x100, 6J 15" ET38 so will stick out an extra 5mm compared to the bathursts. can only be a good thing tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunid-brake Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 just looked at another site and it says they are 6.5, is that the same as 6J??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileyVW Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 hunid, you could stick some 165/45's or 165/50's on if you want a tyre which looks more rounded rather then 195/45's which look flat... atleast i think im right saying this =/..

pro3mark Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 No, J means nothing really, believe its a way that it's been cast.So they're either 6, or 6.5" wide, and et38?You won't have a problem with 195/45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaperWeight1 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 They aren't illegal, some people that haven't experienced them may frown upon them, some just don't like the idea.Yes they are, depending on what stretch. Talk to a traffic officer or VOSA inspector next time you see one.195 on 7.5" was the limit last I asked VOSA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS HAPPIWAGEN Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes they are, depending on what stretch. Talk to a traffic officer or VOSA inspector next time you see one.195 on 7.5" was the limit last I asked VOSA.Im pretty sure its not the stretching of tyres that is illegal, more that using tyres outside manufacturers spec may void your insurance, making it illegal for you to be on the road.

When you see a VOSA van or a traffic officer next ask them about it, if they're clued up then they'll tell you what I've told you.

TomStevo Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I've had numerous amount of coppers behind me, and on back I'm running 9,s with a 195/45/14 and not one had said a word, I got pulled by one a few days ago bot a word, police at cruise and they usually get people for anything they can haven't said a word, and how can it be illegal when 20mm poke is the legal amount aslog as tread is under arch? Meaning either camber or stretch to ge the tread under the arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
