Post subject: | Rover 12 x 4.5 rim question |
Would anybody know the widest tyres that I could fit to the rover 12 x 4.5 rims? I currently have 145's on them now but would like to put on 165's. Also any recommendations on the type of brand/model of tyre? Thanks |

What you have is 145/70R12. You want 165/60R12 as a replacement to maintain roughly the same rolling diameter. Apparently 155/70R12 are available, but may cause clearance problems due to the increased diameter. I would stick with 165/60R12. ![]() |

![]() Ok one more stupid question, the main reason for wanting to change the tyres is for mainly asthetic reasons (although the old ones are starting to crack a little also). Will the 165's give the wheels a wider look than the 145's or will they just push upwards due to the width of the rims..? i hope that make sense ![]() |

No, they won't "push upwards". The sidewall height is pretty similar. Yes, they will look wider on the car. ![]() |
