help needed with beads and stretch tire.

[Polow]

greetings stancers,

my apologies if this following questions have been discussed before i have searched through the active threads but nothing to what i need to know...

i recently bought a set of original work wheels eurolines specs are 17x7j et 35, i noticed that the barrel of the rims doesn't have a bead for the tire to sit securely in front of, this is only the case on the front part of the barrel and the rear has such bead. I've done stretch tire before and i am familiar with all the aspects entailed, my question now is can this rim still take a stretch tire despite not having a bead on the front? my tire to be used is a 185/35/17 this tire is made for a 6.5j and the eurolines again are 7j so its not much of a stretch but i would like to know if its still possible? where the bead would usually be there is a very shallow groove.

You should be fine. As you said, 6.5 to 7 is not going to be much of a stretch, so it should hold.
