195's on a rim made for 205's?

[Ziptyed]

is it safe to stretch 195 50R 15's on a rims made to take 205 50R 15? I just got these rims yesterday, so i need some help. Thanks.

how wide are the rims in inches?

[Ziptyed]

i don't know, looks like 7 in. there mazda 929 mesh rims off of an 87-89 929 i think. Might be 6.5 in, i don't really know

[dae]

it will be fine

[sdtouge]

make shure to run higher tire pressure though, its not really that streched but its better to be safe than sorry/have your tire debead while your turning

i check pressure every day, and i can get air at the chevron, on my way home from school,so it shouldn't be bad

A 195 is actually not going to look stretched at all on 6.5-7" wide wheels. Most stock cars with 6.5-7" wheels actually run 185's. By the way the OEM tire size for the 87-89 929 is 195/65-15.

Dude when you showed me the pictures of your new wheels earlier taday I was like WHOA. Belive me those wheels are such hot sexy wheels. To bad they dont come in 4lug.

more like 205 on 6"-6.5"

195s will fit on 9s if you want.
