good tire size for some 16x7.5 with stretch...

[shadow1]

i know. may not seem like much of a size but its what i got. lol.

they're 16x7.5. +33 offset. what would be a tire size for these for a nice stretch. nothing crazy tho.

any brands yall would recommend?

[mazdakevin]

i think it would have to be smaller than 185 to even start stretchin, iv heard of people stretchin 165's but dont know who sells them.

i personally would suggest that you do some flush functional with a size like that, put some good meat on em and space them out. just imo

good point. i might just got with some 205/45s and just go along with my plan to put 10mm spacers all around. 165s and 185s and WAY too much. lol.

nice what do u drive? i see ur reppin NC

[YotatoySoarer95]

Roanoke Rapids huh? Not far from me. I would have to say get some spacers to push the +33s out a bit more and go with 185/45/16s

[lowteg]

go with 205 40 16...thats what im rolling on

[Kaze]

Yeah 205/40/16 would be good.

I'm running 205/40/17 on my 8. Not much stretch but I don't need it stretched it clears my fenders just fine.

yea go 205/40's but make sure you get falken 512's and nothing else, its the only tire of that size that will stretch. i have them on my fronts (16x7.5 et 15) and my rears (16x9) you can get nankang 165's but i dont like em

Yep. I live in RR. an hour north of raleigh.

Where do u live at? And I think ill stick with the 205/45s. Plenty of grip bit still got the look. I'll run some 10mm spacers to push them out more tho.

Wouldn't 40 series give a harsh ride and road noise?


I RUN 205/45s on my 17x9s...lol

Lol. Had to do it didnt you? Lol

ill take a look at those Falkens. Been thinking if I should stick these rims or go to some XXR 002s or 501s. Idk. Always wanted wa set of them.

[Kaze]

Meh 40 isn't bad.

Go 45 if you want. Either will do.

and lulz i have a 205 on my 9 too.

16x7,5 stretch just won't happen, you need at LEAST 8" wide with 195 tires, but I'd say go for 9 or 10" wide if you want both stretch and a decent wide tire, I got 16x9.5 FS unfortunately I'm in europe so shipping might be complicated, but with 215/40, the stretch is decent.

what car is it for ?

its going on a '93 accord. i may end up buying some new ones. but ill be buying them 1 at a time unless i find a set for like for like $300 bucks. lol.

[hadoq]

too bad you're not in europe, you could have bought my brock 16x9.5 wrapped in 215/40, but at 20kg/wheel, shipping would be insane. they have a few scratches so I don't ask much for them.

[grippymonkey]

omg son... you wanna stretch on a 16x7.5? just get the right size tire until you can get some real fitment down for your car. That would be simply trying WAY too hard homey.

Like Nimo said... there's a newb tire question thread already.
