Ultimate stretch!!

Just got the regular 185/60/14 on.  Mirror polished mine, they look quite good tbh.

I got mine on 185/60but am looking to go 195/65 on rear with 175/45 up front..
But tyres arent ready for changing yet so doing nothing about it

But then I'm going for Rat/hot rod look..

Just dont excpect to handle as wlel with some stretch up front

can you even get 45 profiles in that tyre size? last time i got some tyres for mine smallest profile i could find was 55 and they were really expensive compared to 60s?

I'm looking at getting some 195/45/14s for my next set of wheels, I think they'd look good on p-slots too.

They look good here.

And you can get them for ?40 each too. You can get 175/50/14, but I can only find them from about ?60 each, which is a shame. I have seen 155/55/14 too, but I have no idea where you can get them.

I think i'd got the wrong end of the stick there, I thought you meant it had been photoshopped to look that low… but yeah, totally agree about the colour changes and it's likeness to the Hof.

Where from?

mytyres.co.uk

a girl i know is running 155/55's on bright orange steels on her 6n polo,she got them from a supplier on club polo but they should be available on mytyres or camskills like here  VVVVV continentals!!-38quid

http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s391p0

note the fulda doesnt look good on a 6" rim but the conti should be nice(my brother runs contis  :wink: ) Also if you can find them the nankang 155/55's give a nice stretch on a 6" rim

Check this site out matey might answer all you questions and queries
