is there a difference between the thickness of tyres put on 12's and 13's...... and if so does the 12' and 13's end up being the same size in total Diameter ??

the profile will be different...lower for the 13s...(assuming thickness means profile)

but the outside diameter will be nearly the same if not the same...

whether it's 12" or 13" the thickness depends on the width of the rim again whether it be 5 5.5 6 7" 's wide. with a higher width number you will need to cut and lip/flare the guards etc... plus you may need to adjust various things to get the correct geometry.

Steady on - steady on
No such thing as stupid questions - all questions are valid although I have seen stupid answers at times although not necessarily off the Ausmini group.
