Just wondering if anyone has photo of 13x7 rocking 175/70/r13 tyres? Only found one image on tyrestretch.com
I'm new to stretching, although I'm not sure that size even qualifies as a stretch, prob get laughed out a car meet haha.
I'm not after crazy stretch anyway, just want a slight one to keep you looking tidier and no bulge on sidewall. Also can get hands on this particular size alot cheaper.
Done research I can, I've seen people go smaller 175/60 165/50 especially minis, and they weren't too extreme so I assume mine should be fine. Just wanted to confirm the look before ordering and make sure no garage may have problem fitting them. Cheers

I run 175/70R13 on 6” rims on my Vitesse. No stretch there - I thinks it’s considered the ideal combination. 7” should be fine.

Recommended rim width for 175/13 tyres is 5 - 6” Anything wider and you start to compromise tyre grip and performance. There is a reason that manufacturers state recommended rim widths :-)

175/70R13 was factory size for golf mk2 e.g. on 5,5x13 rims.
Back in the 90s people usually used 175/50R13 on their 7x13s.

But racers run race tyres which have a different design but still have recommended rim widths. Or am I missing your point? |
