why do people do this anyway,what is the appeal?i like tyres that have massive rim protection and stick out form the rim not the other way round, it doesnt look safe either. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

I would like to hit a pothole with them on.A bit extreme. 195/45 on a 15x7.5 bbs rs or rm rim should suit from what im told. Just to find out how much work is involved in fitting a set 7.5s on a 205. Even if bbs have pug fitments in them wheels if i cant find them at all. If not lensos or caliber wheels. Like this http://www.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=http://i41.tinypic.com/f9jul3.jpg&imgrefurl=http://passionford.com/forum/modellers-corner/330176-1-18-modified-models-192.html&usg=__XopCcIws9BcAthJMJ5YRinGnF1M=&h=500&w=750&sz=260&hl=en&start=0&sig2=iSq83tVMewA2q5qg3nY0Jw&zoom=1&tbnid=9lHN6PGilWxedM:&tbnh=123&tbnw=160&ei=GMU6TZfHOom48gPS7dywCA&prev=/images%3Fq%3D205%2Bcti%2Bbbs%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D667%26tbs%3Disch:1%26prmd%3Divnsfd&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=283&vpy=85&dur=407&hovh=174&hovw=261&tx=67&ty=102&oei=GMU6TZfHOom48gPS7dywCA&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0 |

That's not stretched though...7.5 inches is 190.5mm so the tyre is still wider than the rim. I thought stretched meant fitting a tyre narrower than the wheel? ________________________________________ Rich |
