im having alot of trouble finding 175/50 r13s and they are really expensice so i was thinking could i put 185/55 r13s on and what as everyone else done i can get the 185 dunlops fitted and balanced for about £40

[octagonalpaul]

165 55 13s can be a bit cheaper, but they have more of a stretch depending on how wide your wheels are

[JoneseyBoy]

they are 13x7s

[JoneseyBoy]

i can get a set of 185/55 r13s a set of 4 for 100 but ill have to get them fitted in the morning but i need to know if they will rub does any one know if they will

[mini13]

they probably will rub, but then a set of 175's may rub too,

you could always get a set of rack limiters from KAD for a tenner.

If you enter the sizes of the tyres compared with 175/50 x 13 in this special tyre size calculator below, you will then know the difference in diameter. Then go and measure the closest point on the car, likely to rub................probably the rear radius arm pivot / outer bracket.
