wkdtime Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Im going for a stretched look... so just want to see how much over hang there is. 265 is the recomended on 10" wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 This WAS our old 275's on our Antera 309 rear . . 10" (x18") That was the width they advised, but scraped the BU**ERY out of the St/St edging ! ! ! SO, have now got 285's AND they have a bigger 'protector' too (the 275's in pic were Toyo Proxes T1R's the new 285's are Dunlop SP's.. ...trying to find pic of THEM will post if i find one) ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

wkdtime Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Thanx mate i now know that i defo dont want 275's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 very BLURRY pic of the 285 ! ! ! sorry but you can see it's sort of 'straight' with the rim (??) i would think a 265 would look at LEAST as stretched as our 275 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 6 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I run 265/35 on my 9.5J rims. They are very slightly stretched but not much at all. I can take a pic if it helps you at all? Also, check different tyres makes out. There can be a big difference between lets say a Bridgestone 265 and a Dunlop 265. Know the V'Dub boys shop around for the narrowest for there Euro look for the Golf's etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm dint know that, i thought they were all the same, if you can take a pic that would be appreciated, so how would i know which tyre is narrower from lets say a 265 bridgestone and an equivelant size tyre from another brand?

Matt 6 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 There used to be a website that had such info on it, I will see if I can find it for you. It is deffinatly true as I am an Ex V'Dubber and remember trying different brand new tyres until I got the look I wanted!!! Once I have eaten I will pop outside and take a pic of my Wheels for you. I have got Avon's on now on the rear (265/35) and Bridgestone on the front on 8.5J rims (235/40) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Oh YEAH, Matt's DEAD right ! The Dunlops are only THEORETICALLY 5mm wider on 'each side' BUT, they don't end-up that way ! ! they are a LOT wider than the 275 (Dunlop v Toyo) I'll go take a similar 'angle' shot to show the diff ???

Steve W Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 remember, that's only FIVE mm wider in theory ! ! ! and see the REAL difference ?? different makes/styles/protector etc etc. oooops sorry Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Cheers Matt, nice looking Supe, its just that i dont know if i should go for 255's rears on the 10" or 265's, i know that the 255's will give the stretched look, but im just wondering if to will the 265's in which case id go for the 265's.

wkdtime Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Cheers mate! looks like ill be going for 255's;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Cheers mate! looks like ill be going for 255's;) surely that's going to be stretched to the point of compromising safety though. i would have thought 265 would be the narrowest you'd want to go. just my opinion though as i have a 255 on my 8.5j.

Obiwan Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 265 on 10 is stretched for sure. I run a 265 on a 9.5 inch rim and its perfect. Looking for a pic of a 265 on a 10" though to post up for reference but dont know anyone running that setup off hand. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 er yeah I would have though 255's would be pushing things a bit, 275 or 285 would be ideal width for a 10" rim. And why??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Thorin, guys im not after the best fit so to speak, i want a narrow fit look like the V.dubbers do mate....maybe later when i've grown up and gone single ill go for fatter tyres:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Again I ask why? Looks crap IMO, like you couldn't afford the proper width tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
