Kent Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 195/45/15 same as what I run on my 15x7.5 RM's, subtle stretch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabbles21 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 What he said ^Or for even more stretch 185/45. But i'd check if the manafacturer allows that width wheel because if you have a crash and your tyres are fitted on the wrong size wheel you may not get a payout.

jabbles21 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Okay 195 would be better.http://www.willtheyfit.com/Go on there, put wheel dimensions and then 195/45 in one line and the same wheel dimensions and 185/45 in the next line and compare the two.

Kent Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 195/45/15 with Toyo is actually in their recommendation still, so any accident/police problem you're all clear don't have to worry about "tread is in arch etcetc look at the law blah blah blah" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
