What's with the WTB thread on 13" space savers?! Just get some 165/70 or somethin'. When I was over at peedman's place today, I saw some 165/70R13 tyres and the profile doesn't look massive.

[WABIT]

nahh i want rediculous stretch... i want WTF stretch!!!
and screw saftey and screw logics... im gonna go all out

By my rough calculation a 105 would have a side wall height of 73.5mm or so.

If you add the two sidewalls plus the width of the tread you get 252mm.

Divide that by 25.4 and you get 9.921 inches.

Therefore I reckon your goal shoul be to get 105s on a 10 inch rim.:D

[Jarred]

Pete you're a runny man.

Dom, I'm thinking, just melt some rubber and paint it on. it'll be easier in the end probably. hahahha

Seems like you're missing you're old days of being a wheel whore! how to the lancer wheels go offset wise? what's the fit like?
