I'd say it's beyond what I consider to be sane. And I'm a strong advocate for stretch, but that's just too much. Also, the high sidewall makes the tyre look bad. Why not go for 165-45-15? Would look amazing on 7".

Now, having said that - I'm sure there's someone in Belgium that tried your suggestion. Still - go for the 165's.

Nope, never did see 145's on anything beyond 5,5 J. I had trouble getting 165's on 7J, I can't imagine how hard it'd be to get 145's on!
