hi everyone,

I tried using the search but could not find anything about this.
I would like to know what tire size ppl use for a 15" to have a "thick rubber" look.

Here are some pictures of what i'm have in my mind:





By the way, anyone know which rims they are in the last picture?

Thanks in advance

opps, what a coincendence, i just noticed all three pictures were using the rims I was asking,
LOL

Hmmmm... Guess I don't know what a 'thick rubber' look is. Don't see much sidewall, so that's not it. At least two of those are a narrow tire on a wide rim (stretched). Maybe that's it?

you can go thicker if you used a 14 inch rim, thats the smallest you can go i do believe...

I think you meant stretched tire...
Also, the wheels in the bottom pic are Work Equip 01


Edit: In fact, it looks like all three of them are rolling on Equips

thanks everyone for the input!
so how does the streched tire work....?

sizzlinscion

The tire is not as wide as the rim so they stretch the tire to fit the rim giving it the stretched look. This one has a little stretch to it. The rims are 15x8 and the tire is probly a 205/45/15 or maybe a 195/45/15 stretched on it, not to sure.

^^^^^thanks sizzlinscion for the picture and description.
Will a 195/60/15 be able to be stretched like that?
Will it work?

205/50/15
on my xB but i'll go with 195/45 next time.

i run 195/60./15 ties on my stock wheels, if you are going to go with a 15x8, then i suggest going 195/50/15 or 205/55/15. A 195/60/15 might be too wide, i was thinking the same thing, but i feel it wil rub

Not very well. It's very UN-SAFE and not recomended to stretch tires. I've heard the beads let go during hard corners and they are more prone to pothole damage. Why risk an accident for a silly look?
For a wider looking tire just get the tire width that matches the rim width and stay safe. SAFTEY: It doesn't hurt!!!

WedSports 16x7, with a 205/55/16. It rubs a little on full lock, but i can manage.

is that safe?
