Mike:
I have the alloys you are referring to for my Spitfire. The tires will
be 175/70x13's, a good equivalent to 155R13, with a little wider
profile. They look good on the car, in my opinion. And by the way, be
sure when you have the mounted that you are dealing with someone that
understands mounting tires on an alloy with clearcoat finish. Be picky
about who you have do it. In my case, I'm fortunate, having a fellow
british car enthusiast that works with the equipment and can do the job.
