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.

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

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

has anyone done this or know about whats possible on what?

If you want to stay legal then look here:

These guys will stretch anything on any wheel :ph34r:

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.

needs lower profile! lol

so 205s on 9"s IS doable?

abu post some pics of the 215s on 9/9.5 dont be lazy :)

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...

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... :laugh:

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...

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
