Max stretch on a 15x8?

[Grey]

I've got a set of SSR Mk1's in 15x8 (15x7.5 front, close enough) and I want to get a really nasty stretch.

Problem is, I can't seem to find a tire. 195/45/15 doesn't seem like it'll give enough of a stretch, although that's generally what everyone uses.

I'd like to run a 175 or a 185, but they all have monstrously tall sidewalls.


Thoughts?


Funny thing is, thanks to every Sportsack and Rota being 15x8 +0, this is like the most common sizing in the whole entire world. Doesn't seem to be helping me, however.

theres always smart car tires

Hmm...That Nankang is 185/45/15. I hadn't ever seen that available, and all the hits I'm getting are in the UK or Australia, but I'll ask around about it.

Wow, it says Smart car tires are 155/60/15. Would that really fit? Does anyone have a shot of a 155 stretched into a 15x8? Granted, it's a lot more sidewall, so maybe it'd work...

Well shit, that'll work. Found some pics, that's a nasty stretch on 15x8.

Those 165 45's can look like ass too, my buddy had some on his xb and he took them off within a few days. I actually had gotten a set of 175 50 nexens that stretched real nice but my offsets weren't low enough otherwise I would've loved it.

Hmm, hopefully that won't be the case. I saw a few pictures and it looked nice, albeit a little insane. I'd have done 175/50's if I could've found them I guess, but I think I'll go for broke the first time and change them if I don't dig it.

But on a 7.5" wheel they fit like a tire would with no stretch...
