That would probably look pretty tall.

yah nothing came up..im just wondering if it could be done with the difference of widths between the tire and rim.

I'm sure it will fit, may look a little weird with that much sidewall though.

do i have to go to any special tire shop to have them put on?

come on guys... thats the stock tire size. of course it will fit. thats hardly a stretch.here is a pic for reference.

stock tire size for a wheel 1.5" thinner. Not saying it doesn't work, just saying the fit won't really be stock.

If those are 195s, what kind of offset is that???

thats the set up i wanna run for destroying them on the track, cheappppppp

i currently have 205 45 16 on a 16x8, fully slammed, and still isnt close to flush hahaha

on 15s, a 195 50 15 is probably a better fit

you shouldnt have to go to a "special" shop since its not that big a stretch (now if it was a 215 45 on a 10" thats a different story), just dont say the word stretch and have them do it anyway, im sure they will, americas tire did mine reluctantly hahaha
