u mean the stretch tyres euro look?

175/50/14!!!

you wont get it from 14x6, 14x7 you will though. what wheels are they?

 

[Ged20D]

Borbet Design E really like the look of them. So will 175/50/14 make them really rounded coz that would be ace. Also why wont it work with 14x6???

youll get the stretched look on the 7s using the 175s but the 6s will probab;ly just look normal. they will fit tho

 

[beastyjay]

just look at 175 on 5.5" cinq wheels then imagine them on 6", half inch will make **** all difference. the 175s on my 7" minilites arent that stretched and that 1 and a half inch more....

 

[Bushboy]

but ur wheels look great jay

 

[beastyjay]

well

 

[Ged20D]

Yea kinda making sense now, but cant you get tyres to stretch futher or am i just taking the **** coz am sure i could just find a smaller profile.
Just looked at your pics again and Bushboys right the do look good mate.

i think 175's are the narrowest that 14's com in.... but u dont really wanna stretch anymore. i would of thought u could run the risk of the tyre poppin off the wheel, but i dont know for sure.

175/50/14 tyres on 14x7 looks s**t hot....

i popped my tyre off the rim

165/60/14 come on 8v puntos as standard.

165/60/14 come on 8v puntos as standard.

Tad high profile though no?

 

[Ged20D]

What! just popped of how did that happen, stopped still or what? Also jay would the 165/60/14 on 14x6 work the same as 175/5014 on 14x7???? I have read up on the xxx/xx/xx tyre profile before but just couldnt take it in, an now with smaller profile on bigger wheels. Its well over my head.

 

[beastyjay]

yeah 165 would work the same ish, but 60 profile is gash

stretched rubber and being driven round rounabouts dont go well, thats why it came off the rim

 

[Ged20D]

See where your coming from
Its hard this wheel ****, coz the borbet only do 14x6 need it in 7

 

[beastyjay]

show me the wheels...

 

[Catseyes]

standard rim is 14x6 and they look gash with 165/60/14 as previously said (and rightly so).

for the record 165 is the width in mm, 60 is the % of that total width and the 14 is the total diameter - not hard to work out.

if the tyre came off your rim then something is very wrong as when your rim width is larger than your contact patch (tyre touching the tarmac) it is more stable than the other way round (within reason excluding extreme values of course).

cos it was stretched and i was driving quite hard, it came off only a tiny bit and then it went down while i was at my mates, started to drive home and noticed.
