I did some searching on tire sizes in the past. It is possible, but sometimes does not look right-you can see that it is stretched. Also, because runflats are a harder compound, from what I have heard it is harder to stretch the runflat tires.

I can't remember what thread it was in, but someone posted a pic in a thread about tire size. There was a coupe/vert with Z06 wheels, but they used their original (size) tires and you could tell that the tires were stretched, then it went on to discuss why you shouln't do it.

I can't find the picture, but here is a thread or two:

What I meant by that was not that the wheels looked bad but that I'm hearing the tires look bad if you don't change to a different size. I just got new ones and I don't want too have to buy new ones again. I want to use the same tires i have on stock wagon wheels. So I'm trying to find out why they would look strange and looking for pics.

I think the guy on LS1Tech only bought them in the 17's which don't have the 2" lip.

Awesome looking wheels for a really reasonable price! Now we'll just have to wait for someone to put them on their car.. I can't believe no one has these wheels yet.. at least I haven't seen any.
