I never knew that. I've ran 195's on 7" wheels for years on quite a few different vehicles. :l I guess I was just lucky it didn't fall off the rim? :1

Re: New wheels!!! but a problem.......

I don't mind the wheels besides the gold painted centers. Should just strip off the gold and get all of it polished. Remind me of SSR MK-1's

My original wheels on my 280Z and the stock wheels on Hachi used that setup where the stud barely stuck out.

Re: New wheels!!! but a problem.......

i really dont see the point of stretching a 195 on a 9" rim, why not just run a tire that fits your rim?? or better yet buy a rim that fits your car

Re: New wheels!!! but a problem.......

any you guys bitched about my TA with rims like that when they dont even protrude past the fender only the sidewall of the tire does.......i must be missing something here? anyways those rims are no more.... well at least the wide ass front tires. pro street ftw!!!

i think he mean you want the stretch so you aren't prone to rubbing/damage. you want it to stretch to "tuck" better.

Re: New wheels!!! but a problem.......

Not kidding, 4ag just cost too much to get a good
tranny for it. Damn bellhousing costs about $600,
and I can do the entire swap for less then that.

Re: New wheels!!! but a problem.......

holy ---- those VW guys have no taste. all of their wheels look horrible and those too small tires look beaner as ----
