tires for 13x7
 

what is the best stretch you can get on 13x7's,175/50-13's just dont seem to be that round, any other ideas.pics to match would be nice

175-50-13 are the best fitting tires nothing smaller/less high....

195/45-13 maybe? They're a little wider than 175...

175/50 13 that is nice on a 7J rim...
but it makes a difference wich brand you have...
i had 175/50 13 from pirelli and from fulda and the fulda's are looking less high then pirelli's...

Bridgestone RE720 175/50-13" looks even better on a 7x13 ...

that's got to be a real great tire...

this is the info i am looking for thanks boys it is hard to return the tires after they have been fitted, so it is something you gotta get right before they go on,and you dont really know until they are on the rims

yes thats for sure...
i will make some pictures from my 175/50 13" tires on a 6.5J steely...

165/55/13 is a nice size too

slightly higher, but more stretch

they're available in goodyear and pirelli, and maybe some budget brand, pirelli's are ok, and the gooyears are very expensive.

i was thinking about that size actually a little more stretch,the less width is made up through the height ,so in theory the tyre should be more stretched and rounder and a similar radius

any pics??

haven't got any pics of them, I have 165/65 at the moment on my 6J's so that's not near the looks of 165/55 on 7's.

the links to order them in the UK:

nankang tires 25 pounds a piece

pirelli's 41 pounds a piece

goodyears 45 pounds a piece

even though not cheap, a lot cheaper than 175/50 and I think a lot more stretch for your money.

shanks again
good work

pls post some pics when you decide too go for the 165/55/13 tires.

I wanna see that stuff!!

175/50 x 13 it is i couldnt get any of the other sizes i am in australlia you must remember here are the wheels waiting on the fk coilovers to arrive and we will be in bussiness

What brand/type of wheels is that? I like them!
Looks like they have a very small ET-value. (offset)

they are called roh hotwires they are semi commen down here i got them for a steal they have been in storage for the last 15 years,the joys of ebay.they are et of 6 so they will be stiken out ,but nothing looks better on a mk1

nice rims! et 6 is good stuff!

also got these on the burner going into chrome rims

these will help a little
