dean chris runs 13x7's with the same tyres as what are on my 13x6's.. They fit nice on both size wheels. sime 175/50/13s,, $80-$90 a tyre. I think with the power you will be putting out you should find some 195/50/13's,, i think continental make them. |

What's with the sime tyres fitting 2 rim sizes? Wouldn't they look crap on one rim and good on another? |

We are running two Rovers on 13 x 7 Performance Superlites. We run 195x45x13 Dunlops on Johns and I run 175 x 50 x13 Syme on mine. Continental do make a 195x45x13 but not in Australia. We are waiting for the distributor to find out if they can import some for us. |

175 size tyres are for 6.5 inch rims hence being able to fit on 6 and 7's... the look great on 6's and on 7's there streched a little but no where near the limit of them. |

Ummm... how do you guys get around the RTA's track widening restrictions when using these monster wheels? Isn't it a 1" over stock (OK.. Cooper S) track width limit? I bet Twincammini's is waaaay beyond that!

Nah, 205s should be fine on an 8" rim. But I am interested in how to get around the 1" rule, short of engineering approval... |
