    I also don't want to strectch. But i did want to use 205/55/16s because that tire, given its popularity, is much cheaper than the others. I'll probably stay in the 8" wheel.

    I was also wondering if the 16", 55 wall tire would fit?... I will be using vogtlands, which give a 4cm/1,57inch drop

      That's a pretty tall sidewall. It'll more than likely fit, but I don't think it'll look particularly as attractive as something smaller. But that's just opinion.

                    more pics please? I was considering those exact wheels. In the pics you were using a spacer in the back? Also, did you have your fenders rolled?

                      the fenders were not rolled at that moment & it rub'd like crazy(rear) & fronts only if was going over a bump with turned wheels(shitty ebay shock & springs).

                      i went around my area asking garages for a roller and it seems like in france it's not common to have one & buying one for a single time use was overkill.

                      so i ended up hammering the inner lip of front & rear & also the bumps in rear wheel arches,
                      i was forced to remove the rear spacer & now it's not rubbing anymore, i could've used it if my rear fenders would've been properly rolled.

                      bad side tho;
                      the fake nuts making it look like it's a 3 pieces wheel are made out of cheap plastic and they ends up cracking pretty rapidly.
                      beside that ok, wheels.

                              Thanks so much! So did you have the spacers in the back or the front?

                                i dont have anymore spacers but originally wanted & had a 10mm at rear,
                                btw my front struts are 45mm(maybe why i dont need to space the front).
