Having used quality winter tyres, fitted to steel wheels, on my BMW for the last 3 years, I wish to buy a set complete with steel wheels for my 55-reg Panda MJ. The best choice of tyres are for 14" wheels, rather than the car's 13" set. Looking at the information on www.mytyres.co.uk the data for both sizes of wheel (the 14" one being nominally for a base 500 or Ford Ka) are:
13" - 5.00 x 13; 4 x 98.00 x 58.00; ET: 35.00
14" - 5.50 x 14; 4 x 98.00 x 58.00; ET: 35.00
This suggests to me that the geometry of the two wheels is exactly the same, and that 14" wheel can be used on my Panda without any issues. Am I correct?
Many thanks
