stillnotfinnished Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 hi can anyone tell me if 185 x 13 tyres will fit on to my herald? it will have a swing spring conversion ( if that makes a differance)thanks ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 don't think so. 175/70 13 or maybe 185/60's may do the trick. But I would stik to 175/70, same radius as std tyres, a wll trodden path for good reasons.Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Assume you are talking about 185/70 tyres? This will depend partly on the width and offset of your wheels, but I think they are too big.I tried (because they came with the wheels) 185/70 on 6" rims. They caught badly on the bulkhead (tyres to tall!) and on the rear wheel arches. 175/70 fit fine with just a light rub on the bulkhead in extreme conditions.If you fit long shafts as part of your swing spring conversion you may struggle to get 155s on the back btw!Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 They'll fit. What's your offset? Mine are 0 I believe and every bump I touch, time I use the brakes gently or turn the front tyres rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 You might like to try this useful page to work out what might fit and the effect on the gearing of wheel and tyre changes: .http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/?page=tyre.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
