    205/55/15 on 8 inch rims?

    Anyone have a picture of what a 205/55 tire looks like on a 15x8 rim?

    Can find pictures of 205/50, but not 205/55; interested to see what the stretch looks like.

    There's a section called "wheels and tires" or maybe it's "wheels & tyres" I guess depending on the time zone? Does the spelling change if you're in a UK time zone? Would be interesting to know


    it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

              The goal is to achieve as little stretch as possible while achieving no fender modification. Not the other way around.

                Two different brands of 205/55/15. The ones on the front bulge more than the rear.

                    Just generic rubbish. Goodride H600 on the front and some random crap pulled off a scrap car on the rear, I think they were diamond back. They're just my street wheels/tyres so don't need anything too good.

                    Personally I think a 205 is ideal tread width for an 8" wheel and not stretched at all.

                      205 on 8" is an ideal fit, personally i dont like an ideal fit, but slightly wider rubber. but thats a personal choice.
