Ok. Looks like we haven't got much choice here.
Alot of people advise to stick with the 175/50s. These themselves are starting to become in short supply. It seems that different brands seem to give a different stretch look. Fuldas are recommended.
Or 165/55s should give a nice stretch.
hope this helps

narrower tyres than the rims are designed for, so the side wall slopes out to the rim.
