Will I need spacers with 7.5j et 30

Bought some dirt cheap azevs and wondered afterwards about the fitment

If you do it will be front only and only 2a - 3mm. Try' em and see.

[Batesy8]

Sweet, yeah gonna refurb them get some tyres on and have a look. Could you get a stretch or are they not wide enough?

[zaust]

Don't strech tyre's imo...

[Batesy8]

How come?

[Elecblondie]

The more you stretch the tyre the more likely it is to pop off the rim, never a fun experience. I don't see the point myself; you get less contact area to give less grip, to encourage the kind of handling that pulls tyres off rims, by spending more on wider wheels that end up with a higher chance of losing a tyre. I guess it looks cool, I'm not convinced.

[Batesy8]

True, but I can afford to lose some grip, brand new tyres on my bbs and it sticks to the road like glue (in the dry). I'd only do it for looks though, and 7.5j probably isn't wide enough anyway

[Elecblondie]

If you want to do it for looks, you don't need the grip, you don't think you're likely to rip the tyre off and you're going to buy new tyres anyway then it seems silly not to. I've seen a couple of tyres pop off but they've been non-stretched high sidewall tyres, if you're using relatively low profile tyres I suspect you'd be fine. The other thing to consider is the loss of protection to the rims, normally the sidewall is the first thing to hit something to a certain extent, with stretched tyres the rim will be first in the firing line.
