[Healeys] Tire/wheel combo for BT7

Wed Apr 18 09:11:24 MDT 2018

We usually install 185 70 15 either the Vrederstien or Pirelli on the wheels that are going to be on the ground. Then the spare tire we usually use a 165 15. This way there isnt a problem with the spare tire fitting. And since the spare is rarely used the diffenence is sizes isnt a problem. Since they are the same diamater. Also if you do need to use the spare tire the 185 70 will fit in the trunk when it is low on air or flat.

Mark – will the 185 fit if you trim down one of the wooden spacer blocks that space the tire out from the quarter panel and bulkhead?

Listers,

I will be replacing the original painted 48 spoke wire wheel and 15 year old 165/15. I'd like to get a larger wheel/tire combo as a spare. I have 72 spoke wheels on 185 Vredresteins that do not fit in the trunk What is the largest tire/wheel combo that will fit in the trunk (boot).

Thanks,

Mark Fawcett
