I'm looking for some tyres for 6x14 wheels, low pro's preferably. Is there any lists of sizes i can choose from? I'm getting annoyed with on line tyre shops, typing in endless different possibilities only to be told they either don't exist or don't sell em.
As there only 6 inch wide, i though 165 would be nice, maybe in 55 profile. I found some wierd car make that uses this size, but nowhere seems to sell em.
What other sizes are my options?
A little stretch would be nice, but on a 6 inch rim that means super skinny tyres!
thanks

I think the closest you'll get are 165/60HR14s. As I recall, they're standard fitment on Cinquecentos with the Abarth kit.

I may be wrong but trying any sort of stretch on a 6" rim can end up looking pretty naff. Case in point: Remember that the wider the tyre the higher the profile gets. i.e the profile of a 175/50 is higher than a 145/50 because it's a percentage of the width. Personally I think anything less than 195/50 will look pretty normal.

Perhaps i'm wrong, But would you not be better off with the correct sized tyres? 185/60's would be right for a MK1 scirocco on 14s or 175'70's with 13s.

I`d got for 185-60-14`s myself. Just about the right fit and grip, popular size and good choice available buy which means cheap!

If i stick with 185/60 (i have these already) it will limit how low i can go. A bit of arch rolling might correct that though. I havent lowered it yet so ive yet to find out.
I also already have a pair of 165/60 so maybe ill just get two more of those.

If you are going for stretch the best way seems to be the J way ,.. tall but thin tyres,.. plenty of stretch, but less pressure on the side wall than with low profile stretch..
Rmad may be able to pull some tyre sizes out of his brain,.. I'm going to need to sort this soon.

i don't really think stretch is going to be an option on 6 inch rims.
Are there any low pro 175's in 14 inch?

its looking like my options are
165/60 185/50 195/45
rolling radius roughly 21.92 21.4 21.02 versus a stock 22.88 for a 185/60
Which size would handle best on a road car?
