Ok my mate needs new tyres and wants a little stretch.

Standard vtr alloys, current tyres are 185/55/14

Can anyone recommend some well priced tyres which will give a nice stretch.

Thanks, Dan

Yeah, thought that would be the case. Would look like bike wheels from behind.

depends if they have a bead blasted or not because tyres that have been stacked even are a cnut to fit with out 1 let alone 1 that isnt for that size rim.

what width are they?

might be better to go for low profiles instead of a stretch

45's would be sweet, he is on a budget though and its pretty tight to say the least.
