   I know this is a silly question but is there any way that 13 inch tyres would stretch and fit on 14 inch VTR alloys?

   Basically, ive got a 1.1 so the standard are steelies. My tyres where like touchin illegal so my dad got them changed without me knowing while i was at college, little did he know i was purchasing VTR Alloys to go on them. Ill just have to wait till me new ones are border illegal again.

   Yeh, they wouldnt fit over the alloy mate.
   
   And would be dangerous if they were stretched.

   Sell your 13inch steelies(with new tyres) then use the money towards the new tyres for the vtr alloys(you won`t get a lot though)

   Even selling them for 60 quid would be good enough.! Saw someone the other day selling a set of R wheels for that price. Bargain these days.

    Don't think they would go over the alloy. And they'de be too wide. I'm guessing. Very unstable and dangerous.
