   would the fact theyd be stretched make any difference?
   read somewhere someone took out arch linings and something else to get them to fit..

   Just cut the inners back and figure out where they rub, then take a hammer to the arches, I did and my 16's with 195/45 on a 50mm drop are fine.
   
   Or a set of 10mm spacers will do the trick.

    I've got 7j's on mine with 195/50/15's and I used a 3mm spacer. Just clears the ARB end plates and the inner arches so its fine. There is rubbing with people in the back though (I never have anyone in the back as got buckets), and over large bumps. The fronts were catching on the track rod end bolt but that is sorted with the 3mm spacer.
    
    Who would pay £50 odd quid for Toyo T1R's in 195/45/15 when you can get them for £22 in 195/50/15. Any decent track tyre will always come in 195/50/15 so I don't see the problem..
