Default HX rims

Looking for some low profile tires for my HX's any suggestions? Also is it possible to tire stretch on HX's

Please don't tire stretch, it look stupid and is dangerous.

Tire stretch is fine, use willtheyfit.com and just type in the specs of your HX's and whatever tire sizes you have available.

HX's are 14x5.5 I believe; stock Honda tire sizing is 185/65/14 I believe. So you want the first two numbers to reduce in size drastically, lol. Look up reasonably priced 14" tires with good specs and just punch them into the calculator.

Tire manufacturers design their tires to be used on certain ranges of wheel widths. Exceeding their recommendations puts increased stress on the sidewalls, and can easily cause the tires to burst/separate/unseat.
