You must have a square arch car, I have 165/80 r13's on the 73 Midget,
and whopping 185/60 r13's on the 72. But the 72 is sitting on 83 Accord
alloy rims that are a little wider, and both of these are round arch
cars. The 69 Sprite falls right in between at 175/70 r13, which is of
course a square arch. I have not had any rubbing problems with it, but
it has seen limited road time.
