MGA SAAB Ronal Rims for MGA

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

You probably need to copy your pics to an internet host service, someplace that has a bonafide internet address, not just a mailbox.
I use photobucket.com, but there are others.
You upload the pic(s) to the host service, then copy the address of the pic (the host svc should have a procedure for doing this) and paste into the body of your msg, and bingo your pic should appear in the msg.
 
Yep, you'll love 'em...& I went 205's without problems on those same wheels!
