Might help if you said what size the wheels are mate!

Another 16v with cups!

I have 195/45/15 on mine and there is no strech so 175/40's? I'm not very good with sizing up wheels and shit.

15 by 7'' there 7 aint they stuG246

if its a 195 standard, 175's the best bet for you, can put a 165 on, but stick with the 175's and you'll be happy

Well I'd personally put 195/45s on them but 165/50 will give you the most stretch and still be safe

175/50?

50? 45?

175/50s would have a slight stretch yeah and keep your speedo pretty much 100% accurate

sound :-) cheers mate. would anywhere stretch them on 4 me? or wont sum places do it do u know?

some places do it some do, just nip the wheels n tyres down to em, let em have a look.

cant see any problems tho, its not a silly stretch

well, i aint got the tyres yet. my wheels only got delivered 2day, hopefully get some tyres on them and put them on my car 2mora. will have to ask wen i ring up a few places. what u reckon, just ask if they would fit a 175/50 on a 7'' rim?

yeah, exactly that.

watch them too, make sure they look after your wheels

why....can they damage them stretching tyres on?

well...they have a polished or diamond cut lip, there easy to scratch with the machinery they use, just make sure they dont scratch them. they wont damage them if they take there time and put the rubber cups on the wheel holder lol

not 2 bad then :-) i will have to post sum pics up if i get them on 2mora. cheers mate 4 the help

165/50 mate just put these on mine had 175's before and there wasnt enought stretch to go low.

how does a 185/45 compare to the 165/50's?

cheers evry1, findin it rlly hard to get some 175/50's and places i do find have to oreder them in and there about £70 sounds steeps to me

do you need a place to fit them?? iu can get em fitted for you for £30, they fine with stretch donw mine and yours wont be as much of a stretch as mine, my mate and his dad own and run their own tyre firm
