Post by: Mikester on 22 February 2009, 22:02: i was going to put 195 45 17 on my tt comps, which at 7.5j as you can get good brands in that size. Would that not be stretched at all then? :(

Loads of people on ed38 are running 195/47/17's on 7.5j and 8j rims with no issues, only thing to watch is that it can leave the rim unprotected.

a fair stretch, but simple to fit and doesnt really affect the feel to much.

I would yes, go for 20mm adaptors which would leave your offset around 32.
