Why would you want that? Started on German cars and basically for their regulations and tire rub. Looks stupid IMO. But anyways....

195's will get you this on a 15x8 so anyhing lower will stretch more. (not much of a stretch)

Hey Craig, I'm kinda with JLau on this one, your cars boosted.....you should have as much rubber on the pavement as possible.

yeah 195 is pretty much what you gotta do to not rub with those 8" w/o any fender work

stretching is a VW thing... they go crazy and put a 195's on a 10" wide rim :shock:

That's some old school mounting for you.

Imagin bottoming out a tire and messing up the lip in theblink of an eye.
