8" wheels/tyre photos - Daniel306 - 13-09-2013
Anyone got some photos of 215 and 225 tyres fitted to 8" wheels?

leemus black HDi has cossie wheels at 16x8 and 205/40R16
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Curt - 13-09-2013
Tyre stretch is your best bet. Best I can do is 195/50/15 on 8" and 225/40/18 on 8.5"
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - rd070707 - 13-09-2013
I had 185 45 on a 8j and it wasn't that extreme
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Daniel306 - 13-09-2013
I i was fitting 195 50 15 on 7" wheels what would i fit to the rear to best match the profile size and side wall angle on 8" wheels?
Is it possible to fit 205 on the front of a 306 without rolling the arch?
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - rd070707 - 13-09-2013
If you want 8j rims you are going to need some stretch and a lower profile to get them in. All depends on how low you are how much work you need
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Daniel306 - 13-09-2013
Iv got some other plans for the rear so it not a problem there
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Daniel306 - 13-09-2013
Anyone think i can fit 205/50/15 7J on the front and 225/45/15 8J on the rear
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - kingy - 13-09-2013
You aint gonna get much stretch with 225 on 8j mate.
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Pompey306mark - 13-09-2013
I think my new alloys are 8 wide with 205/40/17 on them.
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Daniel306 - 13-09-2013
Im not looking for stretch tho, 225 is the correct size for 8j?

RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Daniel306 - 13-09-2013
What is the tyre size ? Got any side on photos?
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Birk - 13-09-2013
195/45/15 on 8s look good.

this...my 195 falkens were damn near as stretched as my 185 nankangs
Re: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Pete - 13-09-2013
Yeah, the 195/15 Pirelli p6000's (yes I know, got them cheap) I have on the van hardly look stretched at all on an 8.5j wheel.
RE: 8" wheels/tyre photos - Birk - 14-09-2013
Yea, hence why I've put 3 different pictures up of 3 different tyres.
