Afternoon all, as per title, I'm rebuilding my schmidts in those sizes and just curious what a 195/40 will look like on an 8.5J (and the 7.5 while I'm at it). So what have you lot got to show? Don't have to be schmidts as long as they're 7.5 and 8.5x14

Cheers!

Does that tyre size even exist? My mate was running 195/45/14s on his Ts til there was no tread left, and then couldn't find any of that size anywhere to replace them. Just a heads up

It does apparently!

Try this mate, thats on an 8, cant see a 40 on an 8.5J on there!

I ran 195/40s when I had 8's on the front and 8.5s on the back, but this is the only picture that kinda shows the stretch on the 8.5s..

Also, if you don't have the 195/40's, good luck finding some....

Cheers for the replies guys, I forgot I posted this for a while!

I have been told by a few people that they're hard to come by yet I found a supplier in less than a minute on ebay...

Thanks for that photo Andy, looks like the sort of stretch I'm after/will need. The fronts look bit wide though and I'm having them on 7.5s on the front.. but there really is nothing smaller with 40 profile, it sucks!
