hi guys I've been looking on the internet to find some 165/50/13 tyres to stretch on some 7" rims but i cannot find them anywhere, I've looked on mytyres.co.uk and blackcircles.co.uk but still cannot find any, do u guys know where i could find them

cheers matt

tried camskill.co.uk?

minispares.co.uk

I think what you are looking for is 175/50 or 165/55

cheers guys i will have a butchers now, i want the lowest profile possible and biggest "safe" strech

cheers again matt

You can't get 165/50/13 anymore.

ah sh** oh well, is there no-where they would do them? other wise ill decide to use minisport.co.uk and get 175/50/13 tyres yokohama A-539, they look to have a good tread pattern and look like they can handle a stretch, any opinions on these tyres will be greatly recieved

165/55s stretch pretty nicely on a 7" rim tbh, not much stretch from the majority of 175/50s as they tand to actually be a bit wider than a normal 175.

do they still make 165/55s?

cheers

do they still make 165/55s?

cheers

Yep, they're standard size for sporty fiat cinqs.

oh right quality, cheers for that, do u know where i could get some from and if they are good enuf to stretch?

cheers matt

165/55's look good streached and not too over the top eather (sp) but that is just my opinion. here is a pic of them over 7J

great help guys cheers for that, and nice ride mk3. one other question but it isnt to do with tyres, its to do with the offset of the wheels i want to get, they are 7j wide but have an offset of +3 and this is for a mk2 seat ibiza which i think has the same offset as the polo 6n, i was wondering if these would fit without any problems or would i have to get the arches done? any ideas on this?

cheers again matt
