Correct, to get that stretch size you sadly have to look at the "budget" makes such as Nankang.
Mine are fairily stretched at the rear nAnd they aren't what I'd consider budget. Perelli P's I think.

Wheels are a bit nob on though

Pirelli's are fantastic tyres, I like the strech look but currently to get 185's your very limited in choice (unless old stock) :yup:
