well runnin on 195 as standard so would imagine 7inch.
possibly looking at 165/175

195 fits anything from 6,5" to 9/9,5" wide wheels (possibly also 10" wide) - so quite hard to figue out just from tyre width ;)
If we say its a 7" wide wheel, and you want that stretched look I think you are on the right track with the 165, the 175 could do as well although with a little less stretching..

dont think you can achive the streched look on 6-8" width wheels

thats got to be wrong you can streech a tyre on any rim prioviding the tyre is narrower than the rim

The lower the profile, the more stretched it will look...
These are 175/50-13 on a 7x13" wheel - kinda gives you an idea of how it will stretch on a 7" wide wheel ;)

you'd need a 165/40 to look streched but there isnt such a size made so the only viable way to do it is get a 9"+ width rim and stick 195/45 15s

why would i need a 40 profile tyre its the wall that flexis.
besides a 40 on a 14"rim is rar to small for me looking to try these audi rims i got just trying to achive a kinda streeched look never realised it would be such a bloody pain to do

you wouldnt need a 40 that was just an example of size meaning the width would tiny to be atcheve a streched look on 6/7" width rim

if your running std pug rims i`d guess at best there 6" wide so to get a stretched look you`d need something daft like 115/40/14 tyres which simply arent made..
