Hi all
I'm thinking of getting some new rims. I'll be keeping it to same rolling diameter, but the width of the rim is going to increase from 17x7 to 17x7.5. Ideally I would like to just swap the tyres I currently have (225/45) onto the wider rim.
What I’m trying to get my head around is would these tyres fit on the wider rims without any problems? Or would they require to be stretched?
Thanks for any help guys.
