You will probrably need to modify the front of the wheelarches slightly and depending on how far they stick out you may need new wheelarch extensions. Assuming they are 5.5x12 the best size tyres will be either 165x60x12 or 165x55x12, the latter being the same width but a slightly lower profile. 145x70 are probrably going to be too narrow to fit onto a 5.5 inch wide wheel. Hope this helps. Also, welcome to TMF.
