Hi All

What size tyres and wheels can I fit to the car to get it through a RWC and still make it a look ok??

Once it's got a RWC and it's club plated I can look at other options.

If you're using the standard 850 wheels the normal tyre option is the Falken SN807 - 145/80R10. Depending on the shop you go to you might need inner tubes.
E.g.
http://minisport.com.au/10-mini-falken-tyrea-145x80xr10

Might be worth checking if you can put mag wheels on for RWC or if you need standard, save buying twice.

Thanks, will a wider tyre rub on the body or swingarm with a standard setup or will they need spacers / flares?

The 145 tyre is the only one that works with the stock 3.5" wide steel wheels.

You can easily fit 5" wide alloys and 165 tyres on a stock 850, mine has 10x5 Contessa wheels with 165 Yokohama A008 tyres and no rubbing anywhere. No flares or spacers
