would look silly as the width is tiny...

seriously, get some wider wheels (8-9'') and get a 195 tyre

Agree with what Ben said

But on 7s, 165 50s would be fine, but for more stretch, maybe 175 50?

As for pictures, asking on edition38 may be an idea.

175/50/15 on ronals, hardly any arch modding needed i just needed to flare them a bit and they still luk quite beefy from the back (which is what you want) and you can also see the rim so all good
