They do fit with a bit of stretch. I used to have 155s on my Fiesta 13x7j

I'm currently in some turmoil about what size 15"s I might put on some wheels. And have come to the conclusion that 145/65's 155/60's have too much side wall and am resigned to the fact that it will have to be 165/50 or even 165/45 which would look good on your 7"s.

 

[mckenziecz]

also why dont you get 165/50? much better option imo

edit: beaten to it

 

[hoopdub]

totaly would not go 155, you will have epic problems with cornering etc. 165 is as small as i would go tbh even then some wheels dont seal properly with them on. 185/45s are very nice

What hoop said!

Don't you go ruining those beautiful Grid Vs with naff stretched tyres now!

KarlJ just to make it straight forward 7`` as a size off the alloy ?

I do have spare 15`` alloys but that is size of hight not width right ? I do not get it

 

[karlj]

Like I said 7" WIDE

 

[Pawel]

agree but when you buy it it says only 14 15 165 17 inch but not width

Ok for purposes of enlightenment I'm running:

13"x5.5" wheels on the front with 175/60 r13 tyres

13"x7" wheels on rear with 175/60 r13 tyres

On the front the tyres balloon out past the rim face whereas the rears have a little bit of stretch ideally on the front I'd want to run a tyre with a width of 165 and on the rear 185

Does this help with your understanding of tyre widths
