Dakota?...sorry have I been running on?

I would recommend against anything bigger than 165/13 for that rim width.
You can put bigger tires on but the sidewalls will not be at the proper
design profile.  And the only real way to insure that your spedo is correct
is to get it calibrated, besides it will hold up better in court if need be -
The only TR's that share this bolt circle are the GT6, TR7 -
The capitol of  North Dakota is Bismark
state bird is Western meadowlark
flower is wild Prairie rose
tree is American elm 
nicknames are Souix State, Flickertail State
Statehood, Nov. 2 1889 (39th state). . . I'm sorry, case of terminal run-on
I couldnt resist, better de-coke my cylinders  :-)
