Hi all,
I am looking at a set of 8 x 13" with 175 x 50 x 13" tyres.
Does anyone have any pics with the streched tyre look on there that I can see.
Thanks
Bobby

It's not ideal, but I've heard of people using much worse stretches. Although, what other choice do you have now continental and dunlop have discontinued the 195/45/13's?
175 tyre on a 7J rim is actually stretched anyway...
It will depend on the tyre aswell:
- 175 Pirelli P7F looks quite wide with no stretch
- 175 Yoko 539 looks fairly normal
- 175 Maxxis MA-Z1 looks quite stretched

a mate ran 008's on 13x8s years ago; no photos I'm afraid but there was certainly a stretch.

Sorry, but why would you love that? It just looks like they don't fit properly.
Am I just getting old?

I'm not old and I think it looks like you can't afford the rubber to fit your tyres
(you guys do know your manhood doesn't get any bigger if you fit 9'' wheels right?)
