What size were the original tyres that went on the 15"x4.5J Fuch alloys?
Also, what is the lowest profile / size you can fit to them in this day and age?

He ran some 125 from a 2Cv on them at the front of a Split Pick up - bad handling.

I wondered where that post went
Mellow, fit 165s as Andy suggests, please don't make your car look like Miggs's with 205s on the back and pram tyres on the front

:twisted: ggggrrrrrrrrrr.... you misquoted me!
what i said was: I ran some with 225/90 on the front of my Antar troop carrier during the summer of '41. Bloody terrible over the trenches but me and the other tommy's got the job done! All together now "who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler..."
