stretched tyre advice

hello people
i have a set of 15 inch gotti cups measuring 7j x 15H 2 et 25 i am desperate to put some tyres on them with a slight stretch to get that extra euroed look.

However i dont have a clue what tyre size or type to use and info would be very much appriciated.

many thanks
charlie

Im currently trying to stretch 165 50 15 tyres on to tje same set up!

charlie welcome,

what car these going on? how low etc... more details will help.

go for a set of 195 45 15 (preferably toyo - as they have a flat sidewall) and they'll look sweet

hello mate on me mk2 golf driver three door red its been lowered a fair bit at the back say about 50 - 60mm the tyres tuck under the arches anyway and the front is a bit higher with only a 20 - 30mm drop.

I'd go with Fity's advice...

Personally don't like stretch for a lot of reasons (safety the number one Though)

Post up pics&spec of what on there at the moment... Stock VW mk2 is et35 from memory so you shouldn't need stetch to "tuck" the tyres under the arches with et25 I'd have thought...

Tyre wise I'd go for Toyo PX4 or Conti-sports have used both on the Rado and both give great grip wet or dry... Standing water at M-way speeds not a problem with either...
Avoid Yoko Pradas they're great dry but sketchy in the wet.

Please, please, please, also avoid "cheap" tyres remember they are your las line of defence between you and the Verge/armco/ditch/trees... Have a look on tyre sites such as Blackcircles, or talk to Caddy Andy on here...

Like suspension and brakes they are a vital safety feature, don't scrimp...

I have toyos make it all easyer and sell me the gottis?

hahahah oh dear musto do you think im mad, gottis will never be sold they are worth their weight in gold. well to me anyway

Thanks for all the tips will look in to toyos thanks fitzy most helpful.

aaa man always wanted a set of them badbois

could some one please inform me how to upload photos and a profile pic

many thanks charlie

My stretch is sexy!!

ur stretch marks are not sexy brindle

stretch tyres all the way i run a 175 50 13 on a 8inch wide wheel and there still on

so you can chage two diffrent numbers on the tyres to acheive a stretch is this right, so what do you end up with two diffrent styles of stretch depending on which no 's you change??

Cheers
charlie
