    Tires on them now are 195 /45 /15 nexen wheels are staggered .... Just wanna know what will give me better tire fitment .... Don't know what size to go with ... I'm in the states so some tires sizes are harder to get ... I was thinking 175/50/15 but rather get input from people who have dealt with bbs wheels before
    Offset is 13.6
    I run 195/45 on 8.5 and 9 RMs and those stretch nicely. I'd go for 165/50 really, pretty good stretch and lets you go quite low as well. 185/45 would be good if you don't want to stretch much.

    • 17x8.5, 17x10

      Should I run

      205/40 215/40 federals
      205/40 225/35 S Drives
      or something different?

      considered running a 235/40 in the rear just don't know if that will give me really any stretch on a 10.

      Looking for a similar stretch front to rear, decent stretch but nothing insane. I'm running a 205/45 512 on a 9.5 right now and I want to go a little less stretch with the new setup.

                    • How about stretching some track tires? Really interested on 205/45 16 on 9 inch wide wheels...

                      Would like to buy Nankang NS-2R or Federal 595 RS-R on my wheels but they don't make them any wider than 205. So only option is to stretch them pretty aggressively. But will they even stretch enough? Wouldn't they look ugly as fuck? Is it safe to stretch track tires?

                      Could not find any info about exact sizes and track tires.

                      And basically don't afraid of stretch. Currently running 195/40 Toyo T1R's on 16x9.

                          215 35 maybe or 205?

                            • Cragar Smoothie & Tyre Combo

                              Im after people's thought's please.

                              I want to fit some 15" Cragar Smoothies to my Jag XJ6 but am not sure on tyre size to use.
                              I'm hoping to fit 7" wide rims on the front and 8" wide on the rear but after talking to the owner of the car in the picture below ive a feeling that im going to struggle with 8's....

                              I'll need to stretch the tyres a little but but i dont want the usual ultra low profile tyres.

                              This is the kind of look im going for. Unfortunatley the guy i spoke to cant remember the tyre sizes he used so im after people opinions on the potential sizes please

                              What do you think ?

                              • got a set of SSR Meshies
                                Rear 15x8 -25
                                Front 15x9 +10

                                If i was to put 195/45 on the 8s, what size tyre would i put on the 9s to match stretch
                                205/45???
