tyre stretch ?

[fatboycharlie]

wot are your thoughts on it ?? reason is im not sure just fited my wheels on the p100 and they stick out the arches about an inch an half the idea is to slam it wot do u think the wheels are 8x16s steels

What's the question?

 

running slightly smaller thin wall tyres on old fords is the in thing. Don't go as far as VW owers though, running bike tyres on wheels!

My thoughts?

 

Pro's: none

 

Cons: dangerous if excessive (overloads sidewalls), looks naff, damage risk to rims, ruins ride, ruins handling etc etc

 

You did ask

It all depends on the amount of stretch you are looking 205 tyres would be fine any smaller would be crap
