They are on the tall side and also wide-ish so may rub on the inner arch at 
 the rear, not sure about the front.  Despite what anyone else might tell  
you, whether or not a tyre will rub or not doesn't just depend on the width 
but  also the actual ride height.  The reason for this is that the ride 
height  will put the fattest part of the tyre (not necessarily the tread) in 
different  positions of the narrowest part of the wheel well.  Wheel 'dish'  
offset/inset will also vary how the tyre sits in relation to the arch.

Has  anybody fitted 165/80-13s to a frogeye Sprite?  I suspect they are a  
tad too large but if they fit I might go that  way.


Cheers,

Martyn
