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.

iv currently got a 195/45 on a 8
but its rubbing loads, so i need more stretch, i think im going to go for NS2 in a 185, im currently running NS2s up front (165 on a 7) and havent really had a problem. not as grippy as the yokohamas but i dont really drive fast
