lowlancer Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 What's the narrowest tyre I can safely run on a 6.5" wide wheel? After the stretched look, not hardcore though, still want it safe. Friend has a mercedes with 18s, has 225s and stretched a little bit, looks sex etc This is what I mean. Have a bad feeling that 6.5" is too small to do it or something.

esky boi Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Probably a 155? not too sure aye... I think I remember you (or someone) asking that question like a few months ago haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yeah probably me 155 is too thin, I was thinking like 175 or 185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 well 6.5" is equlivant to about a 165 so i'd say you wouldn't wanna go under 155... i don't know why you would possiably want to do this to your car its the stupidest/gayest ideas ever in my opinion rite up there with neon lights. but each to there own...

lowlancer Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 You don't think that datsun up there looks like sex? Meh, mostly just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 the car yes, the wheels yes BUT the offset HELL NO and the tyres are done to compensate for the poor choise of offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 It's actually done to suit a certain style of "mods" drift cars do it as well.... reckon you'd want at least 8" wide rimes to bother doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 then u gotta run bout 50psi to make sure the tryes dont pop off the beed going around a corner.... the fat tyres on skinny rims is a much tougher look... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 adn the hks stickers Shot dumbarse, that isn't bozo style, the other ones were, but you fully screwed that up. And yes I do have an un-natural fetish for all things Bozo, external oil cooler will be just the ticket. And if stretched tyres are illegal, then why do HEAPS of cars with 18s etc have them? Maybe you're thinking I mean a huge amount of stretch... Friend has 245s on the back and 215s on front, looks teh sex0r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 It'd cause problems unless you had teh mega low profile and tyre shops would attcak you with a retreading tread removal machine, due to the difficulty they'd have sealing the beads etc.... those blades are sharp...
