Welllll maybe abit stupid...

im wanting a lil more stretch but without losing profile.... im currently running 205 40s on a 9... i want to run 195 40s but im guesing as the sidewalls will be stretched further than the 205s then the profile will also change ? Sooo if i was to run 195 45s would i achieve the extra stretch but keep a similare prolife to the 40s ??

Its been racking my brain all day..

Ps.. im all over Tyrestretch.com so dont gimi that shite thankyouplease Wink


Nice one mads

The width of the rubber on the wheel with 195/40s instead of 205/40s will be smaller. To keep the same amount of rubber you would increase the profile... if that's what you mean.

Going down to 195 will loose you a few mm for the tyre diameter on the wheel. Going up to 45 profile at the same time will gain you a couple of mm. Smile

Profile as in look?

Well, 195/40 will be slightly thinner but 195/45 will be slightly fatter.

It's a max of about 4mm on non-stretched tyres. It'll be much less for your super stretch.
