You might want to re-read your question mate :thumbs:

Stretch applies to tyre width NOT diameter :wack:

Try giving Howard at Ivan Barretts a call mate. I don't know if he'll do stretched tyres, but I'm pretty sure he fits tyres and is damn good with 200sx's! He's also a driftworks approved fitter. 01487 822474 He's in Warboys.

I normally use cambridge performance tyres and they are generally good. Just asked for Barry!

The tyre guys there are good an take care - however the MOT tester guy was helping them put the tyres back on my car and I'm pretty sure he was not careful and scratched my brand new wheel!!:annoyed: with the torque wrench - only saw it a few days after though!

:confused: Um I know.thats why I put the tyre sizes and size of wheel:wack: I dont understand the point youre making:confused:

[kingj]

It says 9.5:confused:

[kingj]

although it should say 9.5x18 not 9.5x19:wack: but irrelevand its 9.5 wide:D

Ah ok
Tyres can be stretched onto WIDER rims than they normally should be on, as the sidwall allows the flex required to seat the bead on the rim.

The diameter CANNOT be stratched as the bead of a tyre is steel. An 18" inch tyre will only fit an 18" rim

hth

:D

Ok lol.

In answer to your question a 225/40 will stretch onto a 9.5J and look quite good
a 235 should go on even easier!

Just a week ago i fitted some 225/40 to a 10j rim, that was a little tricky lol

:D I know this too:nod: Ive got 225/40/18 on my 9.5's now:wack: but I just got another set and wanted to know where can fit them as they were on the car when I got it:)

Lol

<--- un-crosses my wires lmao

Im sorry i dont know a perticular garage local to you mate, but upon trying to do it myself i ended up having to goto ATS euromaster to get them fitted as they have better facilities than my local tyre guy. Somwhere with a bead blaster (cheater) will be able to pop on stretched tyres more easily :)
