Stretch Tyre Sizes

Post by vw55raz »

Hey guys

Got some OZ Turbo's. Fronts are 7j and the rears are 8j.

For the fronts im looking to get 165/50/15 Bridgestone Potenza's

Im not sure what to use for the rears. any help? i dont want the backs to look thinner then the fronts

Thanks

does that size exist?

I was thinking 165 would be too much stretch and 195 45 would be just normal.

I'd say have a look on tyrestretch.com. Although it seems to be down on my laptop?!

A 195/45 on an 8J will give you a bit of stretch, all depends on if you plan to go really low.
