Mine is a square wheel arch car. It has 5.5" rims and 13/175/60 tyres. I
drive it. About 9,000 miles a year. I also go around corners.

You da' man!  I think that you can put 6 in. rims in the stock wheel arches
if ya don't drive it.  I guess just stand there and look at it ;^).

Of course their are exceptions to everything.  OK, we will say that in
general the square wheel arch Spridgets were designed for narrow rims.
