You are a dangerous person to have giving advice on this forum.

I've seen your workj and to call it shoddy is an understatement.

I had 195's on a 9. They would go on a 9.5, but its a bit much even for my liking.

What car are they going on?...

a 195 on a 9.5" rim

fuck that....

195 is width in mm... doesnt matter about rim size. 195 is 195!

9.5" is 240mm

195mm vs 240mm = 45mm stretch

Looks fucking daft, must handle like shit, must be easy to kerb. Must be retarded.

Your car is rough as a badgers arse and looks shit, that's more than enough example.

Have you not got some springs or strut tops to go and hacksow in half?

haha, looks rough because of the front wing (when i already bought the car with it dented in)

also i had to cut the topmounts (took the spring cup off) as im now running coilovers (thin springs) and not the bigger original springs so they did seat at all in the cups!

which is obviously dangerous..

theres nothing wrong with 'rockin' a larger tyre on a thin rim, i would if it was for a purpose..

i have a 195/45 on an 8j (very small amount of stretch and is just to help with clearance)

cant stand when people just want it so they can say i have stretched tyres..

well why else do they want it? its clearly possible to fit wheels and tyres that fit the vehicle fine? so surely its all done for the purpose of saying they have stretch tyres and wide wheels? they dont have to have them?

i liked my mercedes rims and needed stretched tyres for them to fit nicely. wouldnt go down the same route again though

but if you like the look of a certain set of wheels but they would stick out a little past the arch (dont have to be wide as they could just have a low et) then you could have a thinner tyre to be able to keep the tread inside the arch..

just because i posted you can fit a 195 on a 9.5j wheel doesnt mean i agree to it because i dont..

yeah i dont agree with it but its possible. i think its very dangerous. but then its done on cars that arent supposed to be driven, which i dont get, but whatever. aint my car.
