What sort of profile are you looking at? I'd be surprised if you got anything "low" profile that isn't drag focused.

Ive got 225/50 on my Vitara, they're pretty stretched but legal. Going to 195/50 during the rebuild to give it more of a West Coast vibe.

You could try and argue that, the CPS certainly did when they took me to court for them. Unfortunately for them they were completely wrong and I was found not guilty. There is nothing more than a MOT guideline for stretched tyres, no law can be broken by having them no matter what size wheel and tyre.

Why does the rim profile have anything to do with it? You mean 8” not 8J. Lol, sorry, couldn’t help it. 🤣 as you were. |

The Vitara looks great and means I don’t have to have bigger arches. What is it like on steering and driving? Not gonna lie how it was in those photos it drove like curse word. Suspension was on the bump stops and the steering was really heavy as I got rid of the PAS. Was great fun though, it still handled OK was just super bumpy. I've built completely new suspension now to make it drive better but not got it on the road yet, gonna be my project over winter to get it done. |

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

Can I nominate Matt for the role of forum ‘stretched tyre police police’ ?
so when people post about them being iffy with no facts, it’s his actual job to say ‘I fought the law and the law did not win?’
