Okay, I finally got it done under duress..
I installed the SAAB Roial Rim (5.5 x 15") on the MGA.
I was concerned about clearance issues, fortunately, my tire supplier, put a tire sample on to check clearance issues before purchase...
I landed up with a set of fuzion 195/60 x 15. they fit absolutely fine.. could probably go to 205 if I had to..
I did replace a set of 185R15 vredesteins classics..
the 185s were way too tall, (they did fit the entire wheel well, although) and the sidewalls flexed way too much...creating a back end that wandered somewhat...
anyhow, am pleased with these results, and I know a number of others have questioned this solution...
yes, its not classic, but, but to be honest, it looks much better ( I always thought the MGA was under-tired..)
If I can figure out how to post photos, I will do so...something about when I upload its wants a url site????
enjoy
