[bnollie]

alright lads got new alloys for the 180. they are 17x9" what would be the best tyre width to put on them 225 R45,235 R45,245 R45. thanks in advance

depends on if ya want a strech or not and how the wheels sit with the arches

45? that would look shit

would go for 225/35

[Davie]

225/40 would be my prefrence,also depends on how much grip ya want

[bnollie]

They are the XXR 962. Not Really for messin so would like a bit of grip any ideas??

[insejn]

dished wheels need to have stretched tyres. it would be a SIN not to:)

i've 235/40 eagle f1's on 9.5's and they both - handle and look sweet.

What do you mean stetched?

no they wouldnt, 35 are expensive for decent tyres & also depends how low your car is!

40 is a small enough profile and looks grand when streched! i have 40's on the skyline and there perfect, 35 would lowered it to much!!

basicly not the correct width tyre for the wheel, like having 215 on a rim that should have 235, the sidewall is streched out to the rim!

i wouldnt be using a streched tire on a rim thats for road use, your better having the right width tire with the rim protector to protect it!

well if the driver is not a girl then there's no need to "protect" the rim
if ya kit it hard like a man then it will damage it anyway :D:D:D
lol


go for 40 profile and stretched look mate

I've 235/40s on my 9Js and they look OK. If I was getting new ones I'd go for 225s next time around.

Ya they look sweet. Think ill be getting 235 R40. Reading about stretched tyres saying they are very dangerous that they have a chance of popping off:( under hard cornering. Dnt want that happening. Thanks for all the input lads cheers:D
