hey,

im a bit of an amateur when it comes to putting tires fitting onto rims


i currently own ma61's 14x7 on potenza's 185/60

and considering purchasing some mk1's off a mate they are 14x7.5 -6 with no tires.

now i was wondering can i get the tires taken of the ma61's and put on the mk1's would they fit?

they would be
ever so slightly stretched
though
you wouldn't need a baby elephant machine or anything though(well you shouldn't)

no their only a 7.5 u get a slight pull at an 8" wide rim 8.5 is where u start getting stretch, u might get a pull look with 185/55 but think they only come in federal 595s

just get shitters and put them on the back.

SSR beads are so good for stretch.
