can i fit 205/40/17 tyres to a 7.5" rim?

Featured Replies

im hopefully getting a set of evolo 17" wheels for the fabia this weekend. the wheels are 7.5" wide so will 205 profile fit instead of 215? 215 seem a lot dearer. if someone has a pic of how this combination looks that would be great:thumbup:

cheers

They'll go on.

Bit of stretch is a good thing!

It is a tiny bit of stretch . . . doesnt even count!

Example:

You cant really see . . . apart from the fact it doesnt look stretched! I can take a proper pic for you tomorrow if needs be. ;) It just looks spot on IMO, unless you want a stretch, then run 195's . . . which looks even more spot on! :D

not boddered about the stretch, its the price difference really:D. yeah, if you could get a closer pic up tomorrow that would be much appreaciated:thumbup:

Will do pal.

If your not looking for a stretch just go for the 205's - They look spot on if your going for the full look!

i believe my wheels are 7.5's

they look spot on, are the tyres 205 or 215?

thanks

My wheels are 7.5" wide and I have 205/40/17 tyres on and there absolutly fine

Wide rims and narrow tyres, Great for handling!

Get 205's for the fronts and 215's for the rears, bit of extra grip and looks phat from behind :D

All your tyre stretch anwers are there!

wow theres some mental stretches on this site

I had 194/45/16s on my Vento, on 7.5" wide rims, was hardly stretched at all!

Not much of a strech.

I had 205's on my 8.5's.

Now we are talking.

195/45/16 on my mates 9'' Corrado alloys :)
