    185/65/15 on a 15x7 wheel?

    i don't like stretch much at all, but i have a set of 185/65/15's i got for free and i'm really curious to see what they look like on a 15x7 wheel.
    any pic of that size tire on that size wheel will do, but if it's on an e30 that would do even better!

    Doesn't look like the site has 185/65 but this is 185/60
    The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                  just for reference, these are 195/65/15 on 15x7 euroweaves. And these are Star Specs, which run wide (and are more like a 205).

                  So, you will have a bit more "stretch" than this. On these, the sidewalls taper "in" to the tread just slightly. Not "stretched" per se.

                          hey with the 15x7 if you want to cut down the gap space between the wheel and fender, what size should i go? cause currently i have 205/50/15 and its about like a three finger gap.

                            This is your friend. Just test out each size compared to your 205/50r15 and look at the overall diameter. The bigger the diameter, the more wheel well you will fill. But, also remember it raises the car as well.

                              That's not really the right way to correct wheel gap (but you probably know that). It'll slightly change the way your car feels too because its basically like going to a slightly taller diff.
