[Spridgets] Tyres 165/80-13

[Jeff]

My Bugeye has 175/70's on 5.5" wide Minitors.  Had to space out on front 
1//4". Also spaced out rear 1/8" to clear springs.  You can install most 
any size you can find.  But it may require some modifications such as 
spacers and longer studs.  I have a friend that runs 185/70's/.  Before 
installing the Minitors, I had 165/80's on stock steel wheels.  No 
interference at all.
