Stretch tyre look

[novanova636]

I want to go for the stretched tyre look. I was wondering is it just a case of putting 185 width tyre on a 195 wheel? Or is there more to it? cheers dave

pretty much. id advise you to look at examples though and ask the owner the spec of wheel and tyres so you know how much you want yours stretched, etc.

just to be nosey, what car is it for and which wheels?

[novanova636]

ok il have a look about. for my mk1. not sure what wheels they are. kind of like fan blades. not 100% if im doin it just thinkin of dif things to do. Its all standard apart the wheels and lowered on 60mm spings and shocks. I wana keep it as original as possible but i want it low.

what spec are youre wheels?

185 on a 195 (thats a 6,5j?) isnt stretched.

i'd put a 165 tyre on a 6,5j wheel.

[novanova636]

im not sure what offset they are.

[mayhem]

offset doesnt matter, i'm just not sure how much J a 195 wheel is

[novanova636]

o right. i dont really understand the j thing

[sulphur]

6.5j is it not?

[mayhem]

i think it is, in that case i'd put a 165 tyre on it for the reall stretch look.

see tyrestretch.com for all kind of stretched examples
