14 x 7 - can I stretch a 185 60 14 onto these rims?

[Futo_gt86]

Hi,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to rims!
I just picked up some 14 x 7 rims.
I have some 185 60 14 tyres and want to know if it is possible stretch them onto these rims?
If not what would be a good size tyre to run?

Yes you can very easily put 185s on a 7" rim but it wont really have the stretch look.

there's no point trying to streatch any sort of tyre onto a 7, run the tyres you have, when you can afford it buy something 8j+ and use the same width tyre

185/60 on 7J is easy, basic fitment by the book. square shouldered

185/60 on 14 7j volk mesh, Tread sits in the guard, lip of rim sits out

165 is fine on ae86 etc, guys in japan run them with no problems. Just need everything else setup.
