tyre strech

Hey guys , since its that hard to get 10mm spacers ive decided to get 20 or 25mm ones. But for that i will need to strech my tyres so it wouldnt rub arches

atm im running 215/40/16 on 7.5J alloy . What size of tyre i would need to have strech but car would stay same hight. Im thinking about 195/45 or 50? any ideas guys

Since my car is already really low, i dont want to go any lower

Cheers

Why don't you just get something like these Deniss?

If you want to stretch tyres buy a VW Golf or Polo!

My van is stretched however it doesnt care for handling.

This, or actually search properly.

A cheaper option. Second result on Google search for "4x114.3 10mm hubcentric spacer":

I know it might be a bit pricey but it'll be cheaper to spend extra on the right spacer than buy 4 new tyres and ruin your handling.

With that rim width & offset only real option is to have some real stretch & go for is an 185 which im running on my 17's but as a result I am so low that I have had to mod the exhaust a tad.... or roll the arches & get a fatter tyre with a more higher profile.

Not for me, too unsafe, too Euro-looking.

Goes quite well with ridiculous camber though, if you have one of those cars that can't be driven anywhere.
