Below are 18 real-world examples of 165/45 R16 tyres stretched onto 7J rims, submitted by the community. Tyre stretch is the look created when a 165/45 R16 tyre is fitted to a 7J rim (about 178 mm wide), wider than the tyre's nominal width, pulling the sidewall taut for a flush, stanced fitment. Browse the photos below to see how different tyre and wheel brands look at this combination.
Thirteen millimetres of pull puts this 165/45 in the moderate band on the 7 inch 16, where the nominal sidewall shortens to about 74mm. The proportions come out distinctly slim. Kei cars and lightweight retro Japanese builds dominate its use in the scene, usually run with the tucked profile as the point.
