tyres size problem

[zl296]

brought some american racing mags.
13x8inch  x4.
went looking for tyres...around gippsland...
not much luck.all to small
need 225/50/13,s
any idea,s around dandy area....
or someone knows somewhere... :P

why are you after low profile tyres?
a standard replacement for 6.40x13 in a 225 would be 225/60r13 or 225/65r13  to keep the speedo accurate

on the other hand i not most shop do a 225/55r13 as i use to run then on another car

they are going on ej van.
dont want any rubbing.
do you reckon higher proile will be ok....

cant comment on that as i dont have or no any one with one,
but i run 205/55r15 front and 225/50r15 rear on my fc and its lowered 40mm (15x6" rims)
and i only rub when i hit big bumps, witch isn't very often,

if you rim offset is correct they should fit if not look at 215/65r13

will search bigger tyre places....

Do a search on this forum or the FB/EK forum, I am sure this has been covered recently.
