    Default tyre stretch onto 14's

    i have some 14 x 7.5's
    apparently lowest width you can go is 165's on 14's? and the amount of stretch doesnt really cut it for me. any other alternatives? and no i dont wanna change rims. hoshino impuls ^_^

    What car?

    What are you using your car for?

    Why do you want so much stretch?

    A 185/60 is a slight stretch on a 7.5.

    Hoshinos or not your widths are too weak for stretch needs to be at the very least an 8" wheel then a 185 will be perfect + i cant imagine stretches on a 7.5" rim would handle very well but i stand to correction cos i don really know shit

    no, its not the point.

    a) gives less movement in the tyre (i.e., it doesnt flop around)
    b) 185's/195's is all you ever really want to run on a corolla, so stretch is sort of just a bi-product of fitting them to anything 8+
    c) why the fuck would you want less grip lawwwwwwwwwwl

    grip is the key to getting more speed for a bigger drift! unless you are 4ac then 13's are the go. but yeah slight stretch on a 7.5. maybe try a 175 60, might bow out to make it closer to a 55 profile

    This is stupid.

    Myself, and I'm sure other members are growing tired of these same stupid questions...
