standard 13"wheels with a stretch?

[Mr 5]

wondering if anybodys done it? ran the standatd wheels with stretched tyres?

obviously its no good for hard road use,looking into the dub scene for idears,like the go kart style look of small wheels/stretched tyre/on its hoop.

either that or stick some ATS classics on or similar?or if anybodys currently running this look stick some pics up :agree:

[Spooky]

it has been tried lol

speaketh to adey of the ewoks for help, i believe he did such n such to his former car :)

[bye_all_c_ya]

ive also looked into this style deepdish look on r5's i did ask on the old forum and got some pics up

ive got some oldskool 13x8 alleycat wheels that have been machined to fit the gtt hub :) only thing is...they need 20mm spacers to clear the calipers.

i trial fitted them and they look friggin brilliant:D will look alot better when i fit some 175/50/13 tyres as opposed to the 195/45/13's that are fitted to them at the mo.

Tell you what mate.. Because I'm nice, rather than send the 1300 pennies for these hoses, just send me those wheels as payment. Honestly.. I'll let you. I'm nice like that you see

:scared:

Looking forward to seeing the alleycats raj :p

You would be hard pushed to get any stretch on a standard 5 rim... 5.5J is just to skinny.... you would have to use smart car tyres or something lol

I had the tyres from my standard wheels (185/55/13) stretch on to my 8J rims, looked good... that was about it lol

my alleycats need a good spit n polish as there looking really dull:( i think im going to have to sand the rims down and re-polish them back up! great:rolleyes: the rims are bloody wide enough.

ive seen some good stretches on turbine rims.. on a yellow lupo if i remember right.

Smart car use 15inch wheels, used to be 165/45/15 from memory.

ATS are very hard to fit, theres alot of work, just to get them on, then you have major clearance issues with the rears, if you run 8s

165/50/15 has stretch on turbines.

You should fit some 175/50s, Think it would look :cool:

[Mr 5]

trying to get the ilustrious "stance". not sure just stretched tyres on the 'bine's will be enough?unless i pop some spacers on maybe?

what shoes be these?

[TommyB]

Cheap way to get stretch is run bbs E30 rims.

There 7x15 and look real cool with 165/50/15s.

Just need to either turn down your hubs or have the wheel centers bored out.
