they are all smaller than the standard tyre used on the standar 7.5" alloys surely you should be lokin at 225s or 235 tyres on that width

He does say he wants a little stretch though.

I use 225/40/18 on an 8" wide rim and there's no stretch at all. Mortygttdi on here uses 215 tyres and prefers the look of them
