looking to get some swanky minilites or similar for the ole city to give him a bit of glam! I am currently running on the standard 165/70 12 inch steel rims.
After looking for what is for sale I seems to be offered either 5x12 minilites or 4.5x12 minilights. I take it the 4.5s are a little bit thinner. If that is the case do I need to fit spacers???
Sorry for the dumb a@s question.
Cheers
James
Anyone got a set with good tyres for sale? Find me in the wanted section.

I'd personally not run spacers, for the same reason Ethel said above...unnecessarily increasing the scrub radius (more kickback through steering). If you fit 12x5 minilites with 165 tyres they should fill the arches nicely without needing spacers. I don't have this setup personally though so I'd wait til somebody who does posts up! Is it minilites you're after?
