as long as you run 205 width tyres you should be fine, 215s will be a squeeze.

I run 7.5 inch wide wheels at 32 offset and they're fine

was going to go for the sretched look but am trying to find out abit more before a get the tyres ordered!!

you'l need somthing like a 165 or a 185 to stretch on a 7.5

a asked on ed38 but didnt get a very good response!!! a use the car a good bit so a want them to last an such like!! dont no if its easy to put the tyre on the wheel with it being streched??was going go 185/40/16

185s will give you a little stretch. 7.5" is about 190mm so this will definitely stretch but it won't be ridiculous.

often if a wheel is 7.5" wide it'll actually be wider than that in reality.

stick with 205 tyres, will look much nicer with fat tyres, yeh im runnin et32 aswel and its fine
