you sure they're 15s and not 16's
a common mod in europe is to use narrower tyres than the recommendation to give tyres that rubber band look telltale is the stretched side wall

nah im asking for 15''s

how come you want 15/40? 45s will be a lot cheaper

Your best bet is to get a toyo agent to source some TR-1's in 195/45/15. Then again they aren't that different to 195/50/15 and I sourced Toyo TPG for $110/corner.

will let you know what i find in the next week or two

Yokohama do a 185/50-15, this is a similar side wall height to a 195/45-15 but a bit narrower. Good for the stretch look.

If ya want to go really nuts Bridgestone and Continental do a 175/55-15. I'm putting some on the front of my splitty. (it's pretty low).

Now these are nuts!!

The load rating on the 165/45/15s doesn't meet regulations on a Mk1 here. I was going to import some to put on my old 15x7s (now on Ben's little minter!!) and called up to check and was given a big thumbs down, which was strange. I called back and talked to someone else and got the same answer

The continental versions are near impossible to find anywhere but Germany or Holland. I found a few in this size available in the US but they were all cheapo jobs.

I'm sure you could fit them and no plod would have a clue but my car still has to pass the pits

They look great, though Stretch on a 7" is quite a lot, however and the ride quality would be terrible!!
