hi guys, i was wondering if these 165 55s will stretch ont oa 7 inch rim, im running 175/50s at the moment, was thinking that maybe the difference in sidewall height will make up for the lower width, and i want to have the stretched tyres look,

Yeah, they should be fine. Try http://www.willtheyfit.com and http://www.tyrestretch.com for a rough idea.

Don't forget the disclaimer cobblers.... !

Always ensure you stick within the guidelines set out by the tyre manufacturer, your local authorities and common sense

no a 165 tyre can only safely be fitted to a rim up to 6 inches

this site also says that a 175 50 13 should only be fitted to a 6.5 inch rim aswell though?

Why not using the optimal width rims for a tyre size and vicevarsa?
