175/50 tires on 13" rims...

[gox]

Does anyone have a saxo with 13" rims and 175/50 tires on it? I would like to put them on my sax but I don't know how it looks then...If someone has pics, please put them here...Thanks! ;)

like balloons mate.

why do you want to put them on anyways?

[gox]

I would like to put them on because I saw some pug 106 with those tires and when it's lowered it looks great!!!

that looks abit strange but cant put my finger on why

[sparky771]

its the rubix cube :P

and those wheels look good i suppose but they look much better on classic cars, Minis, old escorts etc etc

I'm from Croatia, and here we don't have much rims with 3 stud for saxo, we have only a few (I saw 4; OEM saxo, pug 106 wich I have, 14" wich popsi; he is on saxp has, and OEM from AX GT wich are awful to me) so these what I have are the most beautiful (to me) and I've found them very hard (3 month searching for them). To order new 15" rims are very expensive here( also I have to put new tires on - wich are expensive over the 13" tires), and if I buy them the car will be much slower, so, I would like to put 175/50 tires on it and lower it...That's why I want that, I like that style...I hope that you understand now ;)

What width rim, to remove 'balloon' stretch the tire, seen this car on eu-mania those are stretched epically.

Again another reply without rim width stated. If on a 13" rim tires are only available in xxx/50/R13, the only way to make them not "balloons" is to stretch a thinner tire over them, if the wheel is 8J thats roughly a 205 manufacturers vary. so a 205/50/R13 tire would sit square on an 8J 13" wheel, with "balloon" sidewalls. Do some browsing online and get some thinner tires.
