anyone know the thinnest tyre available for an 18" rim. I'm talking about thin in terms of width of the tyre, not profile..

eg: 205/40/28 or something..

thanks =D

yo sem!

stretching on the 7.5 will look rather strange man, don't bother stretching on a wheel so thin. I wouldn't even bother stretching on an 8" on a euro. save stretching for at LEAST an 8.5 on a euro. If you had a 7.5 or 8 on a civic in 15" and wanted to stretch USDM style it would work but stretching on an 18x7.5 isn't really worth it bro.

if your rubbing after the slammage just get the rears rolled. the 225/40 you got on at the moment are fine, just wait til you can get some aggressive fitment then stretch.

car looked so good on saturday man :) enjoying the low lifestyle??
