[saxon_88]

hi everyone,

of course i have a problem that i would like some advise on, so here i go.
i currently have 165 70 14 tyres on my mk2 5dr punto (tyres need replacing), the steel rims were badly kurbed so purchased some new 5.5" x 14 rims, my question is what size tyre can i put on these rims?
could i put 185 65 14's on them.

that's what I have on my 14" 5.5J wheels... 185/65R14

generally people dont go wider than 185 i use a 55 profile on mine which is fine.

if a tyre fitting place don't know then were doomed :bang:
