Sorry just a quick one, 155/70 R15 on a 8jx15 whould this work or am I just being silly?
155 seems to be the skinniest width I can find in a 15" tyre, would a 70 aspect ratio be okay or is it too much sidewall to stretch?

it would fit. but it would look awful. the ratio is wayyyyy to far off on that. i would say 175/60 if they make one. or 185/55.

155 is less than standard though.  165 minimum IMO.  |
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

155 would be overkill i would imagine that 165 looks more than i would like to drive on, maybe 175/185 is the best to go for, for a reasonably safe looking stretch. think your gonna have to do some mega arch rolling or get some arches made  |

Yeah from looking on ebay and some other sites 175's seem to be a better idea, there is a good choice of profiles in a 175 R15. In a 175 what would be best 70, 65 or 55? Sorry I feel like I am asking too many question, I need to give something back (promise a photo-dump soon ) |

I'd say 55, it'll give you most clearance and look better imho.

Ive seen 165/50 done, and done well on an 8, but its pretty hardcore. 175/50s more sensible and still pretty damn stretched.

165 minimum IMO.
