nice...i am probably going to go with a 205 on a 8inch wide with a 45 profile. those of you who have 50 profile tires, it doesnt look as stretched as with the lower profile. so i think a 205/45 will be nice on an 8inch wide wheel.

15X7 with 185/60/15s is about as stretched as I'm willing to go for safety.

Ok, so who here used the fire method to mount? Some of these stretches are far enough out there that I've gotta ask...

Nah, he just made it really clear that if I died, they wouldn't be responsible. No biggie.

would you guys say that 205s on a 7.5 wide wheel is a decent stretch? i did that on a VW a couple weeks ago, and i was surprised to see how easy it was to do it (yes, i mounted the tire lol)
