205-50's on a 15x8 wheel

[DrMcDave]

205/25.6= 8 inches. I think it will be fine. Just get a drop on that thing asap.

[einstein57]

i've got 205/50/16 tires on some 16x8 wheels and they don't looked stretched out.

[straight6pwr]

nah they wont look terribly streched. here is a 205 tire on a 7.5" rim: (you can barely see stretch when viewed directly from front/back) anther 1/4" on each side shouldn't be bad.

[guibo09]

i really dont think they will be all that stretched. tire rack recommends up to 7.5" wheels for 205, and their recommendations are always conservative.

anyway, if you look at the TRmotorsport 15x8 wheel thread, there are pictures of 205/50/15 rt615s on the 8" wheel and they dont look stretched at all.

Really? Pretty stretched, huh?

205 wide tires fit on 7 inch wheels normally, and you would be putting them on 8 inch wide wheels. thats an extra inch, so it will "stretch" 1/2 inch on either side to meet the edge of the wheel.

you will have some stretch. some people run 195's on 8 inch wide wheels though...

and as e30devo said, it will look pretty silly with a stock ride height.

[e30devo]

if your car is stock height, you dont want stretched tires.

[mach schnell]

theyll fit but youll have some mad tyte eurostretchin
