I'm surprised it rubs at all with that much arch gap

Trust me there 7inch :)

I'm still very sceptical. 195/45/15s isnt really a stretch over 7's but your sidewall is far far too straight, which suggests your wheel is a thinner diameter. I'm almost certain that there was no 4x100 15 inch VW steel wheel, they look very similar to G60's which were 6.5j

Excuse arch gap - liftshare to work you see.

Need some 175/50's or 185/45's

Hate how the sidewalls curve inwards with stretch - anyone know any tyres which wont do this?

Also, anyone know the narrowest tyres to run on a 7.5j rim? I know technically your only meant to run 195's on an 8?

But someone said that bridgestones tend to allow more stretch?

Good thread

i think some of the details getting lost in this thread its all well and good posting up pics but the point is to let others know the size of tyre and rim and if possible how low your vehicle is

and stop saying sorry for arch gap who gives a fook unless you think a car should be stupid low and impractical for british road use

Agreed :lol:

Some of these look great, but without the tyres size and wheel width it's pretty useless. Maybe you could include the make of tyres too, different tyres look better stretched

i didnt think that was aimed at me but noticed i did put feck all haha.
