205 tyres on 8j rim

[dan5oclocksmith]

Is it a silly stretch, or will it work?

[dan5oclocksmith]

The full details are that I've got a set of 205/55/16 winter tyres and I've got a set of 16x8 alloys.

I'd like to stick the tyres on the rims and use them if we get bad snow. I'd prefer not to buy more wheels or tyres.

So, although not ideal, if it'll work then I'll do it.

These are the tyres I'd fit when there's snow on the ground and I'd be doing no more than 20mph.

Don't care what it looks like.

Will try one to see if it seems ok.

Great until you lightly nudge a curb and bugger your rim and/or suspension components. The tyre will also be easily unseated from the rim, and that's not what you want in those conditions.
They will stretch but it's not to be recommended.

Why would I nudge a kerb? I'm not a girl.
