My MK IA has LAT 9's and I can say
they have the correct offset for the Tiger but are
only 13 inch. My 185/13/70 are as big as you
can go without cutting the front valence. While
mounting tires used to be a problem because
the LAT-9 has no center hole, most modern tire
centers have machines that can mount tires.
But most shops can't balance them. I found an old
shop that still has strob light balancer and a man
who knows how to use it.
Then there is the issue of the finish of
the center of the wheel. Some catalogues show
then unfinished. Some show black. I've seen
unfinished and it looks just like that..unfinished.
I've seen black which looks OK. Personally I
painted mine to match the car. Looks super
because my car is red (39). But if my car was
white, blue, or yellow I would opt to black.
Concurs be d...ed.
