185 45 r15 on 8s

[mk3pete]

looking at some tyres at the moment and il be needing some stretch
would you run them? is it safe for a daily?
cheers pete

That would be some nice stretch depending on the tyre, but not an easy one to find in that size!

[Jarred]

nankang NS2's are in that size. and will give you a real nice visible stretch, but not as crazy a stretch as 165's on an 8, like dom.

do it.

NS2's are like 120-130each.

check it:

15x8 et low with 185/45. same tyres are shown later on on my 15x7's.

imo, 185 is great for an 8 with low offset,. for a mk 1! maybe you'll need 195/50 for a mk 3, unless you're super super low.

195/45R15 is a better option for a VR6. You really don't need the extra tiny bit of stretch that a 185 gives you, and a 195/45 will get you plenty low enough.

195/45 is more readily available too

Alot of places wont sell you nagkangs because they are a terrible tyre.

Tyre power in Thomastown is prity good for wierd tyres, thats where Dom gets his done and i got them to do the strech on mine.

cheers for the comments guys
if they are a terrible tyre i may just go for a 195 as ray said
plus if there more readily available there probably cheaper too
and i do want to go fairly low
maybe these

im fair noob when it comes to these things
are these easy to get

[Water Boy]

I too would go a 195/45/15. Even a 195/50/15. The 50 series will have more options

[jayjay]

where do you guys buy tyres like these? are there specific nankang importers/distributors?

i'd suppose they're specifically imported in/ordered.

185/45 is actually pretty intense stretch for 15x8 for a daily.
