If I upgrade the brakes to Astra GTE Spec on the Kadett, then I am going to need to go to 14" or possibly 15" wheels. Question is, what low profile 14" tyres are out there for that stretched look ;D Golf GTI Steels with reversed rims anyone ;D Or Reversed G60 Steels if 15" Will also help with the gearing, because a 4speed box and 185/60/13s and its screaming already.... if I go stretched on 175/50/13s its going to get worse ;D So whats out there ? and pictures are always appreciated Cheers Dom

195/45 14s, 185/50 14s are pretty popular.

My 195 x 45 x 14s are Falkens - which seem pretty good - though the performance of the Derby are hardly testing them too much.

Its the width that gives you the stretch m8, if you go for 195's, your gonna need a 8'' rim minimum to get the stretch look. Reversed rims will give you the dish but still be only 5 or 6 inch wide.

My 195 tyres are probably intended for a 6J rim which is what they are mounted on, but they have a rim protector bead which gives the impression of a slight 'stretch' should imagine they'd look nicely stretched on a 7" wide rim. The team Guru Derby has been a subject of discussion on here before. I love it to bits
