just been down the scrappie and noticed some 185/60/13 tyres. will these fit ok? (i would put them on the back only) as the car is at a sensible height and i would rather spend a fiver than fifty quid.
will they fit?

second hand tyres i would say no dont do it. plus they look like they are the wrong profile and would mess up your overall rolling radius

And no I dont think those tyres would fit, the profile is too fat as said by miniboo

185/60 x 13's may just fit on a mini, but there are a few points to this:
don't bother with second hand tyres, it aint worth the hassle (safety first)
they will mean some body mods (if they have enough clearance on the rear subby)
I am guessing they were on an XR2 or something???
rolling radius will be wrong too (higher drive ratio)
IMHO, don't bother with em

I have seen 185/55 r 13's (I had some on the old XR2 IIRC), never seen the 50 series but I don't see why there wouldn't be some.
185/50's are gonna be similar rolling radius to the 175/50's (ok, something like 5mm bigger). Nice and chunky too!
Then you have always got the old 195/45 r 13s, mega chunky!!!!
