wantin to stretch muh tires:]

[JDMkodes!]

so i ordered some 16x8 sportmax 501's last night and now im lookin at some rubbers for em. im new to the tire stretchin game, so i was hopin for some insight.

so from what i can tell, a 205 would be the regular tire for an eight inch wide rim. so would i run a 195 to get the stretch look? and what size sidewall? 40 or 45?


any help would be much appreciated :goodjob:


thanks ahead of time IA :D

PM jcs. He has the teal civic hatch with the +15 sportmaxx's. You've probably seen it at the Warner Robins meet before. But, he'll tell you what all you need to know.

thanks bro, i pm'd him. i remember the car, but he didnt have the sport's on it when i last saw it. i havent been to a wartown meet in forever. i went to like the first two or three, then traded my integra, and then three weeks later the two-fawty i traded for died on me:(

but nonetheless, the two-fawty will be super fly when its runnin again and has these wheels on it:)

205 is already stretched in my opinion. Granted I hate this fad of tire stretching, but I have 17x8 wheels and would never consider putting anything less than 225s. So yes, 195 should be plenty stretched.

Well I want a mild stretch so I think 195's will be enough

Thanks for your input tho :)

yeah dude a 205 40 should be plenty. a 205 is for a 7" wide rim, so a 205 45 is already giving you a stretch
205 40 is a lot of stretch, and if you do a 195 make sure you do a 45 sidewall at least.

Oh yeah... I forgot he bought the sport's after the War-town meet stopped happening. Just get the info from him. I'm not sure his exact size... but if I ever get something with low offset, I'm gonna get the samn tire's as him because they're ballin'. Plus, getting tooo stretched looks really retarded.

So who would install these bad boys? I wouldnt just let some random tire shop try and put em on?
