I determine the 5.90 x 13 and 6.00 x 13 to translate to a 165 x 80 x13 tire=

Thanks to Dale A for recommending MileStar Touring SE tires as a pretty muc=

Their MS775 has the white wall but they carry 2 sizes:
P155/80/R13 with a outside diameter of 22.8.P175/80/R13=C2=A0with a outside=
diameter of 24.0
Calculated available space in the trunk for spare wheel and tire is about 2=
4", so the P175 would probably rub all around but do not know for sure. =C2=
=A0Any thoughts or experience.
The 165/80/13 would probably be the best if you can find them. =C2=A0Though=

Joel:
I'm at work right now and do not have access to my copy of TBON, but I seem=

I believe the correct color ID for the outside wheel color was "Seafoam Gr=

years ago and gave them the afore-mentioned name of the correct Rootes col=
or and they were able to mix me several cans of it to spray my wheels with.=
=C2=A0=20
Jay was correct in his description of the spray method.=C2=A0 The wheels we=

Joel,
Here (hopefully you can see them) are pictures of my original spare
from my MKI B9470622..=C2=A0 (black, grey-white front, Dunlop RS5).
Note the /64 datecode.=C2=A0 Your picture looks like /63 datecode, not
sure if that could have been left over long enough for your MKIa but
maybe...
You also have the early MKI "crosshatch" trim ring, pretty sure you
should have the later style.
HTH,
Gary

To build on what was just posted to this group, there was a problem with me=
tal around the lug stud holes, and a new wheel with reinforced holes was su=
bstituted for the Tiger, dated Jan 1965(according to a parts catalogue chan=
ge) and the very same wheel=C2=A0 replaced all Series 3, Series IV, and Ser=
ies V Alpines when the Alpine portion of the catalogue(3rd revision) was pu=
blished circa Feb 1965. According to the parts catalogue, it also replaces =
wheels on Alpine Series II after car serial # B9107290.
The updated road wheel is part number 1214930. Two of the wheels that came =
with my Tiger are stamped with the updated number. Using the valve stem hol=
e as the 12 OClock position, this stamping is at the 6 OClock postion and a=
n additional number (65 on one wheel of my car and 66 on the other) is at t=
he 9 OClock position. If your road wheels were in the same condition as min=
e, you may have to take a wire brush to the wheels to remove layers of pain=
t to see the number.

tire and rim, it might add a bit to the discussion. Especially in re=

Tigers (Mark II purchased in 1978 and Mark I in 1979). However, in Novembe=
r of 2011 I purchased a '66 Series V Alpine (B395008497 OD LRX) from the or=
iginal owner. The car has only 66,435 miles on it... original paint, engine=

ss to my copy of TBON, but I seem to recall that the MkIIs had stock steel =
wheels that were painted a silver color on both sides, while the Mk1 and Mk=
1A wheels were painted black on the inside of the wheel and white on the ou=
tside. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the correct color ID for the ou=
tside wheel color was "Seafoam Gray," or something like that. I conta=
cted Tower Paint in Appleton, WI, years ago and gave them the afore-mention=
ed name of the correct Rootes color and they were able to mix me several ca=
ns of it to spray my wheels with. <br clear=3D"none"><br clear=3D"non=
e">Jay was correct in his description of the spray method. The wheels=
were evidently painted black and then the "Seafoam Gray" was applied to th=
e outside surface of the wheel with no effort by the factory to mask off th=
e inside surface. It is proper to have a little overspray come throug=
h and land on the black surface of the inside of the wheel, so don't worry =
about that. <br clear=3D"none"><br clear=3D"none">Hope this helps,<br=
