changing tires from rims

[michaeltay31]

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?

[shift_rook]

they would

[michaeltay31]

ok cool so would any tire shop be able to switch the tires over...would they be stretched??

[shift_rook]

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

[michaeltay31]

ok cheers. dont really bother wether strected or not..just got fairly new tires on my ma61's so dont really want to have to buy new tires.

just get shitters and put them on the back.

SSR beads are so good for stretch.
