    Default 14 x 7 - can I stretch a 185 60 14 onto these rims?

    Hi,
    I'm a complete noob when it comes to rims!
    I just picked up some 14 x 7 rims.
    I have some 185 60 14 tyres and want to know if it is possible stretch them onto these rims?
    If not what would be a good size tyre to run?

    Yes you can very easily put 185s on a 7" rim but it wont really have the stretch look.

    there's no point trying to streatch any sort of tyre onto a 7, run the tyres you have, when you can afford it buy something 8j+ and use the same width tyre
