Hey guy and gals
I'm looking at getting new wheels and tyres for my 78 clubman. I have 10 by 5 rims on the car at the moment. I am wondering if I could get 10 by 6 and not run into any problems. Also anyone with the 165/70 R10 A032R Tyre - Yokohamas are they a good tyre?

Thanks in advance

I would have got the yoko's but was limited to budget, went for 12's in Falkens and they look good

shouldn't have any problems with 10x6 wheels, and A032R are a very good tyre, but you won't get a lot of life out of them. I wore out a set of very simiar "road/race" tyres (Dunlop D93J) in 5000km. Most use Yoko A008 which are fine on the road as long as you're not breaking the law
