If going for the gay 'stretched' look, then you'll need 165/45/16

If you want to be sensible and have decent sized tyres then I'd recommend either 195/40/16 or 195/45/16

195 40s FTW on a 7j

stretched on a 7j will look poop, and not nearly enough tyre on the tarmac

If you want the stretched look then you'll need wider rims - i ran 16x9s with 195 40s over the summer

Compromise with 185's ?

what, you mean like the dinghy's on yours 

but to be honest, stretch on a 7" is a little daft, you need a 8" rim and above really

I wanted 195/40's but after spending £700 on the wheels, I was a bit short on cash so had to go for 195/45's
