Hi Jay,

The offset of the wheels will be the big factor in which tires will fit
without modifying the fender.   The original wheels on my Sprite had mag
wheels, but even with 155/80s the tires would rub because the offset of the
wheels was away from the hub.  I switched to the "minilite lookalikes" and
those work well with the current 165/70s I have on there.
