Hi Richard,

I put the Michelin 165/70R13s on my '69 Sprite with the Minilite look alikes
from VB.  I have the square arch in the back, and with the 165s I can get a
little more than a palms width in (with my palm facing the tire).  I'm not
sure I'd have enough room to get the extra 10mm in there without rubbing.  I
had the original Minilites in there before, and was rubbing real bad with
155 series tires.  You may be OK with the round arch on your Midget.
Anyways, I've been real happy with the 165s.  They carry them locally at the
Big O on Dublin and at the America's Tire in Livermore.  Hope this helps!
