to put it simply can i get stretched tyres for my 15's??
or what is the best tyre for flat sidewall
i'v got 195/50/15's on at the moment and they rub on the rear arches
not to much to change wheels

195/45/15 shouldnt rub....depends on the offset of the wheels though.

ive got federals on mine, the sidewall is pretty flat on them. the only way to get the 'stretch' look is to fit a narrower tyre i.e 185 instead of 195 etc.

You haven't told us the rim width yet mate so its difficult to advise a tyre fitment that would achieve the stretched look. If you are serious about euro look, then stretch your tyres by all means, if not, then don't bother. I'd rather have a tyre that was fitted properly to the wheel in the tried and tested 195 45 15 (which is a cheap size) and if the rubbing continues, get some wheels in the correct offset (ET49)

Aye, whats the offset/J of the rim?
