175 on a 7J?!?!?

I thought Oldskulls 185s already looked to small lol

Check out the pictures in oldskulls project thread to see how 185 looks on these rimms.

175 on a 7J will give you the stretched look but i it's only for show i assume? I think it will drive very bad. I also have my doubts about the look of it, because it's sooo small...
Confused

"ze" germans put 175/55x13's on 13x8 rims...never driven on a car with stretched tyres, but if they have worse grip than my current 185 profile tyres, then no thanks.

the less grip the better Thumbsup

You'll regret those words when you wrap it round a tree because you didnt have enough grip to make an evasive manouvre (or just making it through a slippery corner).

Personally, I like my car to slide only when I push it to do so. Also, lack of grip will also manifest itself in the front of the car.
Although a great ae86 drifter like ueo drives almost exclusively on 185/60 tyres, you have to keep in mind that those are semislicks.
