185-45-15 tyres

[spud1987]

i have just bought some compomotive mo's in white! i have been looking at tyres and want a slightly stretched look tyre! I have found some 185-45-15's would these give a stretched look and are they safe??

and why are 185-55-15 more expensive??

cheers

[spud1987]

[Justin..]

why the hell would you want that :? ud need real skinny tyres like 145s or sumthin on a 6j

[spud1987]

[Justin..]

You'll have to go narrower than a 185 for the stretched look. I had 185s on 8x13s lol. I'd go for about 155 or 165 /55R15

See ya

like already said best to go with less than a 185. thing is buying 175 or 165 in low profile will prob prove expensive.

in the end of the day you will just end up buggering the rim of the wheel. id go std on a clio. looks fine. most tyres have rim protecters on the rubber to stop things like this! :wink: :roll:
