Tyres

Here's an easy one for all you out there.

I have some 5 X12 Minilites that I'd like shod.

Whets the best size to use without modifying the original arches?

The car is an 82 city.

Also,any idea as to the best place to purchase from ?

Simple - go for 165/60/12. I got Falken tyres - not a bad make,but you can get better. mine were £25 ea. so you're looking at £30 from a tyre place + fitting. never go for the cheaper 145/70/12 option - not worth the time or money.

Er, 82 City =10 inch wheels!

So, 145/10 on standard steel wheels, or 165/70/10 on wider alloys.

err!!! read the post!!!!! he says he wants to put 5x12 minilites on it! - so - my choice of 165/60/12 tyres would actually fit! - yours would mean he would have to stretch the diameter 2 inch!
