Hi
The tires on my TR4A are coming up on 10 years old so I am starting some preliminary research in anticipation of replacing them this spring.
First, I have a question about the width of my painted wire wheels. They are definitely 15" diameter and 60 spoke. When I measure the width from the edge of one rim lip to the other I get 5.5". However, I question that since I am not aware of a 15 x 5.5 in 60 spoke configuration. I can see a 15 x 5 in 60 spoke or a 15 x 5.5 in 72 spoke. See here https://www.britishwirewheel.com/wheels.htm
What do you think - is it possible my rim width 5.5"?
The whole reason I ask is because it will directly impact the tire sizes I will consider. The current tires are 205/70-15. These are fine but, about 3.5% too large in diameter. They are a cheap private label so I can't even tell you what they are.
Thanks
Bob
