I am running 175/50/13 on my 13 x7's but im not happy with the coverage on the rim (the rim sticks out further than the tyre). But on 5.5 or 6 wide they should be fine...

I'm also running 175/50R13s on 13x7 rims. You would need VERY low profile 14s to keep to the same rolling diameter.

I actually like the look (and handling) of the Yoko 032R 175s on the 7" wide rim (not that I had a choice). Check your tyre availability before you commit to any rims.

14s definentally not practical, tyres are an absolute pain to get. mine came from japan, no where in australia had anything that would fit, 14s are a tight fit, had to trim the rear subframe to fit, and im running step drums and inch and 3/4 spacers on the rear with 14x6 rims.

These 14s wouldn't be for a certain ungly miniature scooby-doo would they?
Just go for 17s and be done.

possibly, i have been looking atthe fiori in comparison to the mini inner guards and they are very similar in sizes. so i was thinking of basing my wheel calculations on a mini.
