Where do i find tyres?? I've tried looking everywhere but no one lists 185/45 15's? Is this a rare size? Tried the link at the top of the page and rsr but they come up with nothing.

I'm not even aware of that size being available

Or at least it wasn't a year ago.

out of interest, if i was to stretch a tyre, 1) will any tyre fitter fit tyres that aren't wide enough for the wheels? 2) would you reccomend getting a bigger profile?

well i'm not sure if a 195 will rub my rear arches with a 8" rim, so wondering if a 185 would be better. Maybe i'll just get the 195's!

Do you really want to risk it though? If you went around a corner to fast your rim would hit the ground and spark everywhere

tyres would only roll on the front i would of thought, they won't be as stretched as the rears. Maybe i should just get the 195's, play it safe.

Exactly what I'm talking about, its fcuking dangerous.

But Steve won't listen, he will bang on about this for days to come now.

There is one Nangkang tyre that is 185/45/15.

Personally i'd get a bigger size and get something decent

Danny has already told you that on a 9 inch rim he had 205's and that was a massive stretch, don't do it.

well i've not heard of tyres popping off or wheels scrapping on the road before???

There are loads of cars with seriously stretched tyres. i just want the rears to have a bit more of a dish, 195's should be fine, my mate had 205's on a 9" rim, wasn't a massive stretch, he used a 50 profile though.
