- That would still be "low profile" on a 63 <g>. He wants 165R-14 -- that's 165/80, basically. I recently found Vredesteins in 175R-14 -- I don't know if I could have got 165s if I had wanted them, but

- What width 72 spoke? Usually the 72 spoke are 5.5" wide and the original 165/14 are going to be too skinny to look correct. If the rim is 5.5" wide, I'd suggest going to the 185/70 14 tire for the co

- The original tire size for the B was 5.60-14 which equates to a 24.60" diameter. When radials came out the fitment went to a 155 R 14 (23.8") with the 165 R 14 (24.5") standard on the GT (which had
