stretch tyre on 7j and 8j
 
hi guy's, now I wanna put on my mk1 stretch tyre...

wath kind of size I can use?

I have bbs 7j and 8j, I want a low profile and stretch, but I need to go fast... I find a safe tyre size...

on 7j 165/45 or 165/50 are safe?
on 8 I think 185/45???

other choice?sorry for my bad english

195/40 on 8j should be fine aswell

Erik 17-09-2008 13:48

What's the size of your rim, 15" or 16"?

gticri 17-09-2008 15:52

oh I'm sorry.... the bbs are 15" there aren't 195/40 for the 15"...

I've got 185-45 on a 8" RM wheel. I think if you want to go for a lot of grip you also pick the 185-45 for the 7" wheel, because the 165 is very thin for good cornering.
