imyhamid 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Hi all just wondered if anyone has some advice on the choice of rubber (make&size) i should get for my porsche rims. They are 7x16 all round. Would like them sort off streched over the rims. Cheers for any advice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dazzyvr6 0 Posted June 21, 2006 if you want them stretched then you will need to go for something like 185 or 195's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imyhamid 0 Posted June 22, 2006 how about the rain sport 195/ 40/ 16 how would they look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted June 22, 2006 195/40 or 205/40 works fine on a 17" wheel. I'd suggest you get a 45 profile tyre since you've got a 16" wheel. As for width I prefer fatter & flatter 205's on a 7j. More grip. Its entyrely up to you; also try Tyre Bible if unsure. Did you read the Sticky TYRE Discussion thread?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 22, 2006 205/45 16 Uniroyal Rain Sport 1's But make sure they're the W rated ones as they have a stiffer sidewall. Ideally the tyre width should match the rim width for optimum sidewall integrity.....so 195 for 7J, 205 for 8J and so on... I know VW fitted 205 balloons to 6.5J rims, but it's not the best way of doing things...imo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
