    I tried with carby cleaner, but the gap was far too big to "blow" the bead on... As for the bead blaster (high pressure air canister), no shops would let me use theirs, so I was pretty up shit creek...

    But its alright I guess, I do have stretched rubber on them now, beggers cant be choosers..

    Here in Norway they fit whatever width you like. Once they couldn't get my new tires to inflate with the normal air hose, due to the stretch. So they bolted the wheel onto the hub, filled the tire with lighter fluid and lit it up. BOOM! And it was on. They also use a high pressure air tank to almost explode the tire onto the rim sometimes.
    Never met anyone around here that won't fit streeeeetched rubber.

    So I couldnt find anyone to help me/let me use their facilities to stretch the 195/45's... Apparently it is illegal to stretch and nobody wants to take the chance because they are liable.. And me and my mate couldnt quite get them to bead up....

    So I went out and bought another set of tires. 205/45/16 on the fronts, 215/40/16 on the rears.... pics after this weekend on the car

    Here's a front bumper option for you. This is my hatch that I built. The front bumper is custom. My buddy and I did all the work. I think it would flow better with the rear if you did this..







    Just some pics of it on the car... I think it would be killer with all the other shavedness you got going on

    It will be getting a fair bit of track time, I am planing on a second and maybe third set of wheels before it is complete though
