    175/50/16 on 7.5 wide

    Planning on getting sdrives and found 175/50s for 7.5 wide wheels up front.
    Anyone have ideas of how they'll fit or look?
    Thanks

    Are u planning on sitting on the ground while driving? Cause that's the only reason you'd need that streched of tires.
    That's just dumb.

                I don't mind it and they are telling you what it's going to look like, lol.
                It's such a narrow wheel that you're trying to stretch and the 50 wall is going to make it look like a Mohawk.

                  http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/lofi...p/t126768.html Near the bottom. You'd better have that thing slammed on its ass.

                  Edit: Even then, It look silly. You need an actual WIDE wheel to pull off big stretch.

                    you realize 7.5 * 25.4= 190.5 mm wide rim right? and you want to put a 175 mm wide tire on it? Idiot

                          Damn hipsters and their stretch. Putting a 175 tire on a 7.5 is like...well I don't have a good analogy right now, but it's gay. Gay gay gay.

                              it's a 15, but you get the idea.

                              edit: also if you were a real fitment whore you'd know that you don't reduce the tire size, the wheel width goes up.
