streched look tyres.................(Pics wanted)

[PIG]

im running 225/35/17's road tyres on my 9inch rims

 

but running 235/40/17's on my other rims(no pics with tyres yet tho

[marky4]

but would a 185 over a 7j not catch like mad? forgive my ignornace im used to only having to find two matching soft compounds tires

 

depends on the wheel and how low the car is, if superlights yes, my Ml'S rubbed slightly on drivers side rear arch if cornering hard but took 3 years (8k miles) to start rubbing writing of side wall, but what ever wheel the arches need to be rolled

[caprinerd]

aint there a chance of the rim grounding on heavy cornering

[Lukey48screamer]

175/50/13's on a 7inch rim are fine, just grab a tape measure and see how many inches the 175mm makes... abra cadabra 7 inches!

I.e. Not stretched

[Lukey48screamer]

you want stretched, ok...........

 

.....

 

 

Btw I must say this ford ka or whatever it is looks fookin shite!

[boXXer]

bit harsh mark but oh so true

not been very educated when it comes to tyre sizes and choices , what would be acceptable on my 5jx13 rostyles? at mo ive got 185/70x13's on but they look far too skinny and high, what would make them look chunkier ? would 185/60x13's look any better? and would they be safe?

i need some new tyres but really dont want to stay on these skinny 185/70's..

185/60s will screw up your motorway cruisin ability mate, i made that mistake last year. gives you a little more away from the lights tho so is personal preferance. i had 205/60s on my laser 6j wheels, they were best all round (til i got my 15's) but dont think they will fit on the 5j's

 

holty, just get some fekin tyres will ya (not stretched tho, they look gay, like a vw owner ) , wanna see the scort on 15's asap

you will be reving higher at any given road speed. i think they would be the best compramise on 5js 205/s would ballon to much on skinney wheels

revin at over 3250 when doin 70, rollin diameter smaller means more rpm to cover the same distance

[Retro-gone.]

now i just totally confused lol, bring back the good old days when no-one knew or cared about wheels an tyres .

smaller profile tyre will icnrease road noise slightly, make the car a tiny bit rougher and it will rev more at higher speeds...think of it like this:

 

my wheel with a 185/60 will have to turn further to go the same distance as your wheel with a 185/70 as its bigger

[Retro-gone.]

pantz i cant concentrate on what your saying with those two havin a good ol' les up

other way, a bigger wheel diameter turns less, 185/70's will need fewer rpm @ 70mph than 185/60's as the overall gearing is higher

 

my capper on 185/60s and then the 15's below, the overall diameter of the tyre and wheel is larger on the 15's so cruises at lower rpm

 

[antz]

dammit you are right...my mind was not thinking

 

edited my original post so it actually makes sense

[bazzil]

nice one, im still unsure about putting 175/50's on my 8 j rims.

 

I have 175/50s on 7-1/2 js not for show but to clear the inner arches.................no problems re grip ect unless I wanting to go sideways
