what's the smallest tire size for this rim?

11 Dec 2012, 5:06pm
hi,
some years ago, i bought a set of 2th hand wire rims. 15inch x 4.5inch, from an MGB as i remember, and was fitted with 155R15 tires.
during the time, i changed a bit my mind about the size of tires. now i believe the car (vintage style) will look better with a bit smaller (width) and bigger diameter tires (wall). anybody can help me to understand wich sizes i can (reasonably) use without change the rims?
thanks,
David

You might get away with a 135 x 15. They are still available as they are used on the 2CV. Good quality ones are expensive though. Try one of the 2CV specialists.
