New rims, what tire size? Calling all stanced/stretched/slammed/flush gurus***
I got a DA9 and just bought some drag DR46's. They are 15x7+10 and now i need tires. going to get the 175's for slight stretch and all i can find is a 175 55 15. I would want 175 50 15 but i haven't been able to find aaaanyy, so would 175 55 15 be the size to get? will it look good you think with a 55 series? What would YOU personally go with?
here is a link to the rims i got with 175 50 15, i think this car is gorgeous!! Its the one with the white wheels. if you are taking the time to look at the link check out the car at the bottom of the link..i cant even begin to explain haha

I'd just get the 175/55 and roll the fenders. That guy said his fenders aren't even rolled, so the 55 series side wall will be slightly taller and slightly less stretched, so you'll need a little more room.

Looks like 175/50/15s are very hard to source.

From the Forum Rules and FAQ:
10. Do not ask about "stretching" tires onto wheels that are too wide.
All such topics will be locked. Tire manufacturers determine the wheel widths onto which each model and size tire can be mounted safely, and you can find the range of these wheel widths in the specs on their websites as well as those of retailers like the Tire Rack. Mounting tires onto wheels outside this range of approved wheel widths is unsafe because it can, and often does, result in the buildup of excessive stress and heat in the tire sidewalls, which can lead to the tire "popping the bead" and/or tire failure. Make sure your tires are mounted on wheels whose widths are within the approved range.
