I sent a message yesterday, but it never turned up.
I am running 205 60 R13 s on a set of standard 76 Spit rims. They've been on
more than one of my cars, the bodies were not "adjusted", no rubbing, no
problems.

Subject: largest possible tires (was "Minilite Wheels")
I found some posts in the triumph list archives by Barry Schwartz, saying
the largest possible tire size for a Spit was 205/60/13 (with a little
tweaking).
Well, this week my mechanic is putting a set of 205/60/13's (Yokohama AVS
Intermediate) on my 13x5.5's. I'll let you know how it goes. (And if anyone
has had a real problem with tires this size, please let me know now!)
The diameter of a 205/60/13 is slightly less than a 185/70/13, but of
course the width is the problem area.
I'm also planning on a new adjustable suspension--suggestions, anyone?
