Falken 195_45_R17's

[dark]

anybody know where I can score 2 x 195_45_R17_Falkens? Only place I can find so far is germany!

ok let me rephrase this - I want a tyre I can stretch on a 7 inch rim - tyrestretch.com is not even helping! Anyone got some suggestions? Losing my mind here!

185/35 would be my choice.

165 is silly imo.

195/45/17 on a 7 is next to no stretch, it does angle in a touch
sorry they arent close ups, apparntly i dont have any. refer front wheel
this is a yoko sdrive



as per jarred, maybe a 185/40? 35 profile for lows

[Jarred]

don't think there is such a tyre as a 185/40/17 afaik only 35 profile

[dylan8]

ahhh good call jarred!

185/35/17 Nankangs. Do it. As someone said there are smaller (like 165/35 or something ridiculous) to get the real stretched look, but in my opinion crazy stretched tiny tyres on already thin wheels looks silly, not to mention is quite dangerous on a mk3 vr6 as they are rated for a lot less weight then will be put on them. Knowing how easy it is to break traction in the 205/50 stock tyres with only a few performance mods, im guessing the car would be useless with 165 wide tyres

185/35 on a 7


or go 195/40/17 maybe. the 195/45 is going to make the diameter a fair bit bigger then standard mk3 size anyway
