Don'yt want a mega strech on them but do want one that is noticable so i can get them wheels out a little bit further all round not just the rear.

So my question to you is, whats the best tyre size please??

My alloys are 7.5J and I have ever soo slightly streched 205's on them.

195's should give it a little more?

if you put stretched tyres on your iain, you have to promise to use bigger spacers and lower it more.

i had 7.5 inch wide azev A's and with 195/40 falkens they had really decent stretch!!

i think you may have to go to 195/40's or possibly 175's to get a decent stretch o na 7J wheel

if you're not running stretched tyres for arch clearance, then why?

195/40/16 will make the car lower but give more wheel arch clearance and should look alittle more stretched as is a smaller profile .. daniel corsa had them on his 7x16's i think
