BF Goodrich Radial TA 70 series (the only tyre catalogue that's handy)
P175/70SR13 4.5"-6.0" rim widths 22.62" od 5.22" tread width
section width on measuring rim width of 5.0" is 6.92"
P175/70 R13 4.5"-6.0" rim widths 22.68" od 5.57" tread width
section width on measuring rim width of 5.0" is 6.97"
Yes, you can jam them onto a Midget rim, but you loose steering
responsiveness big time by having such a narrow rim width.
If ya wanna go fer the big meats, do it right and get the 6" vega rims.
