Bob,
If you have BR60-13s, it is probably time to replace the
tires. Letter size tires haven't been available in eons.
205-60R13s have a nominal radius equal to the 175-70s, but
are much wider. 203 mm versus 182 mm at the widest, at the
tread, 181.1 versus 139.4.

Subject: Re: Wrong tyres... oops
I have B.F. Goodrich radial T/A BR60-13" tires on 5 1/2 " wide aluminum
alloy slotted mag wheels . I already know I will need to flare all four
fenders, but I was hoping to not have to modify the firewall bulkhead but
I am not going to be so lucky , the tires rub there also. Has anyone done
this? ( modify firewall for more tire width)

p.s. yes...the car looks like a steam roller !
