<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="2"><font color="blue">I've got a general question about tyre sizes: will a set of 185/60/R14 tyres fit onto a wheel which currently has 175/60/R14 tyres. Cheers,

Yes. Will be a little taller & wider. My guess is the rims are 5 1/2" ? MGBs run 185/70/14 on 5 1/2"

205/50s fit onto 15x7" rims with no trouble.

Does macmattom have 7" rims? I doubt 175's would fit on them easily. My son has 7" rims with 195/45 tyres (lower aspect I know) and they are difficult to fit, bit of a stretch.
