    which parts is saying something about stretch?

    sorry, english is not my first language and some of that stuff is not " thick foreigner" friendly.

    Part 5 of Tyre Fitment. Protrudes beyond bodywork is what you're looking for.

    Why not go for the 15x8 and then come NCT time you can just change back to whatever wheels are on it now?

    I never had a problem with this, my Audi S8 had 10" wheels all round and was in the NCT many many times (they loved to see it back I guess) and this was never mentioned. The 10"ers stuck out a tiny amount, but I had stretched tyres on it (which is the root of this look, back in Germany and Poland, legal compliance).

    I'd hazard a guess at that being a joke, though I have been known to misinterpret comments. ;)
