205 Tyres On 8/9" Wide Rims

[R-SPEC]

as per title

some pics would be nice...

thanks

I doubt it's doable. Getting a tyre that under-sized to blow out onto the bead will be a right prick & most places won't even attempt it I'm sure.

Why do you want to do this in the first place???

[R-SPEC]

i just like the look

and it'll stop the guards from rubbing against the tires

i went to a tire joint today and asked, its definately do-able

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

stretched tyres look teh goodz.. (i myself run 245's on 9.5" rims) but why would you want 205's that's like a toothpick

[R-SPEC]

coz i got a few 205s laying around lol

atm i got 245s on 9s, they stick out more than the rims

[DECIM8]

At minimum you can run a 215 on a 9.5 rim so perhaps you would squeeze a 205 on a 9" rim. I wouldnt try as a 205 would be like running a 10 profile on the rim, the walls might even touch the ground.

8 inch youve got no isses.

I wanna see some pics if its do-able lol.

lol asked the kunt again today and he said its not possible

would still like to get it done though with wider tires...

These guys will stretch anything on any wheel

I've done 205/50/17s on 9s, was easy because they were reverse mount - no baby elephant or anything special needed. If your rims arent reverse mount they might be a bit of a gina but it's do able. Don't have any pics but they do end up looking pretty stretched.

I run 265/35 on my 12's and 235/40's on my 11's..... and had 225/45 on my 10's... I ALWAYS run 215/45 on 9's.... so a 205 is definatley doable.

If you have a "high performance" 205 it'll be even easier as they arent actually a 205... more like a 210 or a 215... the sidewalls are thicker.

it's easily done, but as said before... 205 is VERY narrow. I dont like running 215/45 on 9's on the rear.

up to you though.

I will maybe get some tonight if I can be bothered

Its can be done, the only problem with stretched tires is getting them to inflate once on the rim, thats what most tire places have issues with

Its generally pretty good with most Jap rims, you can inflate them quiet easily

GRRR Google it ..

Anyways here.. Its do able..

215/35/18 on a 9.5 rim.. Might be a 10" Tell the tyre guy to stop being a pussy wack the 205 on the 8 inch and run around until they die..

205 on a 8" rim is fine, 215 on a 9" is pushing it a little but definitely possible.

Not the best pic, but you still get the idea, here's a pic of my car with a 205/50/16 on a 8" rim, barely looks stretched at all...

[DECIM8]

Thats because ur profile is 50, not the 35 or 40 a 18" would run

[~Hypnotik~]

^^ Even still a 205/35/18 will still fit easily on a 8" rim. A 215/35/18 will be fine on a 9" rim.

dam now thats stretched... just tell the tyre shop that you drift it and that youll spend crap loads of money if they look after you...

they will fit, just depends on what hieght the side wall is to whether or not you be pushin it... lower than 40 and then its running a bit low...
