what size tire is a good stretch on wheels?

i have a question guys. sorry if its a newby question but i cant find any thread that explains it. i have 15 inch enkie honey comb mesh wheels and i wanna know what size tire to get put on with a nice stretch. i just want it to look good im going to be lowering the car soon and i want them to tuck a lil. please anything would be a great help especially pictures.

depend on the width of the rims... 15x?

thats the thing man i dont know anything about those wheels

Grab a Measuring tape? Read the Sticker on the rim? or they might be cast in... but the specs should be on them somewhere

185/55's on a 15x10 wheel.

alright man ill be sure to check tomorrow. and when i put on the tires how many pounds of pressure do i put is it the same 35? i have heard different things from different people.

35 will do,

but if your trying to stretch the shit out of a tire your gonna have to use more to set the bead. and/or a bead setter. those warnings on the tires that say "never exceed 40psi when setting a bead" are lies.

ps. anybody seen my left hand?

awsome dude thanks. i just want a descent good looking stretch my man thanks dude

I used to run about 50psi on a 42psi tires when i had crazy stretch...

i used the tube trick, it works good.

et us that width so we can help you.

a 205 on a 10" wide wheel is a decent stretch. But it's only a 205 regardless.

Most wheels are 7 or even 6 inches wide, if your wheels are  7" wide you can't really stretch. The smallest you can go is 195 without looking like a bicycle wheel edge.

If you want a noticable stretch but not a razor-thin footprint, you're gonna need a 10" wide wheel.

205 on a 10in wheel is quite a lot of stretch my friends...

Just for reference

Henry's longchamps as was in the Super Street article are 16x10 in the rear with a 205, and the fenders are NOT pulled, just the inside lip flattened all the way.



Anyways, stretching is for looks most of the time, see my tagline quote Wink

Sorry Arro, Henry's his longchamps are 16x9's no 10's

Okay guys I checked the with of my wheels it's 15x7.3 thats what it said on the hunter

Yeah the least you can go is a 195 without looking lame. Otherwise you'll just end up with a wheel that looks like a ball with just a thin strip for a contact patch. No bueno.

A 195/55-15 would be fine, will have a tiny bit of stretch. 7.5" isn't wide tho. And usually you stretch on a wide wheel.

I assume he meant 7.5". Which is still an oddball size.

i would assume they are 7s...

7.3 inches is about 185mm, so I'm guessing that might be his tire's section width. It might be a 6 inch wheel.

from edge to edge it was 7.5 sorry. its all good i just wanted to know if i could do a stretch with these rims. if not ill get different ones. thanks guys
