[Healeys] 48-spoke wheel width

[Bob Spidell]

FWIW, my dad went out and measured our rims and they're 4.0in. Not sure
they're original, however.

I'm wondering if the 4.5" referred to 60-spoke wheels?

Not to be confused.



All the below publications say 4.5 in rim width and/or 5.90x15 tyres.



The Austin-Healey by Donald Healey and Tommy Wisdom

Healeys and Austin-Healeys by Peter Browning and Les Needham

165/80 tyres will fit perfectly.

Okay, now I'm confused ... some say 4-in, and Patrick says 4.5 ... ?





Anyway, I ordered a set of Nexen 165/80s from WalMart as recommended by a
Lister.
