Im looking at buying some SSR longchamp's and what i want to know is i'm going for a JDM stretched rubber look for my ute,what width rims would anyone recommend? and what tyre dimensions r needed to get a "stretched" look? thanks in advance!

Blah blah blah look vs safety blah blah blah

All depends on what size run you want as some tyres cheaper and easier to get than others eg 13 14 or 15inch.

Then go width. To pull it off you will need 7 inch rim width min. So a 165 65 13 will be a stretch.

Personally it looks good but impractical on our crap roads as a daily. Plus it won't hande as good as a proper rim choice. a mild stretch is ok but stupid sidewall driving stretch is stupid imho.

I have a set of SSR Longchamps in 14x7 and im looking at going prob 175/50's...
have a look at http://tyrestretch.com/ they have some pics of some common stretch sizes

i didn't want anything stupid, surley if its stretched to much there would more of a chance to roll the tyre off the rim?theb web page that tidy put up is awesome! thanks mate

something like this i reackon, spot on what u said unfamilia! looks awesome!




is that 2 much?




what about this???? thers some extreme stretch in some of those photos!

I reakon all those above look #OOPS#, 185,50 on a 15x7 rim is good, having such a big side wall makes stretch look horrid.

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market
And let me tell you no car left the factory with stupid looking wheel and tyre combinations like that

Do what looks good for you
But for christsake get the JDM part out of your vocab as it doesn't fit ... RICE fits better

^, dattoman_1000, jdm is the worst terminology around.

Dont like the look of that at all, but thats just me :)

Mine are 185 x 60 x 14 stretched on an 8" rim. Check my build page for photos if you are keen. I am happy with the look, not too much stretch. More like the first photo on the post above
