Dustin-
On my '65 Sprite, I am using 1275 Rostyle wheels because they are 1/2
inch wider than the stock wheels. I painted them silver, so they just
look like nice custom wheels. I've had several comments (all positive).
Anyhow, I have Dunlop 165-70/13 tires on the wheels, and I'm quite happy
with them. According to most sources, this is the widest one would want
to go with the wheels, and they are very close to the circumference of
the 145/13s.
