What tyres for 7" wide 16's
« on: 12 October 2009, 16:07 »
Can anyone give me some tyre size recommendations for some 7" wide 16's?

Looking for a little stretch, nothing major as the car's my daily. 
I tried the wheel whores website but theres very little pics/info for 16's..

Any pics of stretch would be useful!

I reckon 17" tyres might be a bit hard to fit onto a 16" wheel :laugh:
