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

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.

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

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

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.
