[Healeys] Tire/wheel combo for BT7

[David Nock BCS]

You do not need to have a 185 series tire in the trunk as a spare. Mount a 165 series tire for a spare and it will fit with out modifying anything.

Thank you all for your input. I think I'm going to modify the block on the rear bulkhead and go with a 60 spoke 185/15. The 48 spoke wheel that I have is in really poor condition and going tubeless is a plus for me. So I'm going to take this opportunity to upgrade. Again, thank you. This list is the best resource.

  You can get that size wheel and tyre in the trunk. I have 72 spoke 5’'” 185 x 15 Pirellis on my car and as a spare in the trunk.

  You need to move the locating block on the rear bulkhead up by about an inch by making a simple bracket to lift the height of 
  the block slightly higher. Only a concours expert will know you have lifted it

  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
