fyfie5 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 either im being blind or there isn't a section anywhere for tyre chat? im going to need some front tyres pretty soon and I have toyo proxes at the moment on the front but I want a change! I have 215/45/15 on a 7j rim, any one know what a 205/45/15 would look like on a 7j rim, would there be any stretch? as I do not want stretch. want to know what I can get away with as the only tyres I can find for sale in 215/45/15 is toyo proxes! wouldn't be too bothered if they were part worns either just something to get me till winter then I can fit my steels. cheers!

Jax Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 You won't get any stretch from 205 on a 7J. At best you'll get a nice flush fit. Just bare in mind that the second unit (45) is a percentage of the width- not a unique measurement. So a 205/45 will have a slightly smaller rolling radius than a 215/45.I can't see that giving you any problems though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyfie5 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 thanks! that's what the guys said on civiclife, even a 195 wont give any stretch on a 7j and they are a much more available size. hoping my tyres can last till winter but I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'm currently running 195/50 15 on 6.5J wheels, it's one of the most popular sizes (good news for prices) and almost every manufacturer makes performance tyres in that size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
