You'll never find 145/67 as that profile figure is wrong. 165 will probably be too wide for a standard rim but you haven't said what you have ...

I'm sure what he means to ask is, Is it a 145/60/10 or 145/70/10 or more likely 145/80/10 or something like that. "67" just doesn't cut it!

The important thing is the rim width.

If it is an early car with a 3.5" x 10" wheel, then a 145/80 x 10 is necessary. If it is a 4.5", 5" or a maximum of 6" then a 165/70 x 10 is needed.

Just measure the rim width and go from there.
