Low Profile.... was created by dr_hillmann
well i need something skinny so i dont scrub up when my car is down on the coillies

got 16x7J wheels, is 195 the narrowest width, need to have a stretched wall to get them under the arches...

does anyone make a 185/40R16 or a 195/35R16 ?

currently ive got 205/50 and they chunky as funk, will 195/40 give my dubbin' stretch?


I might get a rover tuner to tune my gt40 turbo on my left testicle to run 400000 bhp lol

Wouldnt recomend 185's n doubt they make them could get 205 35 or 40's stretching tyres is lethal more likley for the bead to pop off

195 on a 7j isnt much of a stretch at all tbh, i ran 195's on a 8j for a bit and it was barely stretched :)





second pic the front wheels are 7j and tyres are 195's

was speaking to the fitters at hi-q and they said 195 would be suitable for 7 inch. he didnt mention any stretch, and doubt they would fi them if they thought they werent suitable

195 wasnt mentioned in my last post as thats pretty much standard on a 7j rim, 205 is a more performance related width so your mor likley to find a lower profile in that size, worked at silverline and other tyre garages long enuff to know what im talking about <!-- s;-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";-)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;-) -->

lol wasnt arguing with you mate, got 205 already, and they too chunky, 185 too much stretch, so 195 the only logical choice :P
