165/45/16 on a 8.5. yea i think its so much.

[Minty_Fresh]

so i guess like everything there is a limit. idk where i got the idea in my head there would be less stretch on these but basically I'm 3 weeks till the first show i want to take my project to and i think I've reached the limit of how much stretch is safe to drive on







i mean its fucking wild. make all the camber celica and streched mini spare jokes you want but basically i want to get smaller lips. right now I'm on 2" lips and want to swap for 1.5's. but has any one ran on a equally ridiculous stretch with out any issue? i mean they are holding bead no problem with only 35psi off the car.

[P78]

buy bigger tyres instead of smaller lips?



185/30/R17 on a 8.5


195/40/16

[Minty_Fresh]

the only 195/40's easily available in the states are s-drives and those things are chunky as hell. 16's on a MK1 rabbit aren't exactly a great fit and I'm not trying to be donk status. and the first tires are 17's.

but seriously any input on if this is drivable or not.



165/45/15's on 8.5's. but does not look nearly as wild as my tires.



165/50/15's on 9's. looks fucking wild. about where I'm at.

Holy hell that's a lot of stretch. That can't be safe

[projektzwo]

if they holds air, where's the problem... drive just one idea more safely...

[BenKoflach]

Holy fuck, that is a lot of stretch. I had 215/40s on 10x17s and they looked kinda like that, looked like the tyre was barely beaded at all and was a fucktard to fit. But I ended up getting brave and cornering pretty hard on them, never lost a single psi.

[stinkinrich]

I like my stretch but I think thats a bit too much.

[hinrichs]

there was a fox wagon running more stretch than that at a local show i was at this past weekend which makes yours look normal, i thought he was crazy but he said it was driveable

I would just be careful and see how it works out, my one friend locally ran stretch like that with no issues for a long time on rfs

[MommysLittleMonster]

Yikes.

[Kielan]

If it holds air then yeah go for it, you'll be fine. Just fill em to like 50 psi to be safe. Buncha girls in this thread.

almost a year was rolling 215/40 and 215/35 on my 10x17s without any problems, also the stretch is way more normal than this...

[G535]

That ish aint safe.

[06tiburonofdoom]

My Civic has 165/45s on 15x8.5s, but it doesn't expose as much barrel as yours do. They're definitely not quite THAT crazy. Haha Worked out great for my setup, though!

[AMGwheelwhore]

I run a 225/40 on an 18x11". Just raise your tire pressure up to 40psi and check it once a week, if they are beaded and are not leaking you wont have an issue man.

[MrDanguy]

That looks sexy.
