15's 8.5s on the back and 7.5s on the front
with massive chunky 50's tyres
i need low pro and stretched !!!
anyone have any idea what good stretch i could get with which tyres ? i want a decent stretch so i can deck it even more but i dont want it to much because i want it to still be safe round corners etc
i really dont know which tyres to get

Do you get any scrubbing now?
I would go for 165/50's at the front and 195/45's at the rear
Although you might be best with 195/45's all round (Never seen a 165 tire on a 7.5 rim!)

Could buy a few cheap tires off ebay - my local krap-fit will fit tires for a fiver when the boss isn't in!
You didn't answer my Q - Are you scrubbing at all?

that would be classed as bald tyre and is illegal so watch your back
i found this when i removed some 17s off of mine - from when i firsted started out with the polo
