tyre stretch size for my wheels

[JohnnyWalked]

hi i've got a set of 15x6.5 +38 soon to be put onto my ek.

i want the stretched tyre look on my car but dunno whats the recommended size to go... any HELP please?? im even unsure if its possible or looks good. pictures would help me out too

6.5" is kinda small to stretch on isn't it? If you just want the look then probably 185? 195 will sit flush on the sides but you might have issues getting a good set of tyres in 185/**/15 because I think I've only seen 185's in 14".

good luck finding the tyres you want tho

smallest tires iev seen was 155/70R13, what u have there is oem rim size for many small cars, so you be pressed hard to find any smaller tires than whats already there, 185/55R15, maybe a 165? but iev never seen that size before

Tyre stretch shows you what tyre and how it looks
But getting the tyre in Australia is a different story
Probably would have to be ordered, or maybe you'll get lucky and they'll have some old stock laying around

you would most likely have to order the tyres from overseas if its an unusual size.

hey thanks for everyones replies, the website is awesome n a great help. talked 2 a friend of mine n he rekons im able to go something like eg. 195/55/R14......>>> R14 on 15" wheels??/ is that possible?

[Lukey]

not that i know of, and a 195/55 wouldnt stretch on a 6.5" wide wheel either.

[dougie_504]

Nah man 195 sits flush on 6.5 like I said earlier. You'll need 185 to get any stretch, and I seriously doubt you can get a 14" tyre onto a 15" rim. Asking for trouble just to try.

I think you'll either have to abandon the stretch look, get wider rims like 7" wide or so, or try to find a 185/**/15 tyre.

Falken have normal tires 185/60/15

[dougie_504]

That should stretch a little, right?
