<Also, I have an Alpine S V and I just put new P165/80 radials on the rims.
They are skinny little things, but the handling vs the old Sears belted
tires
is already amazing. What's the widest I could have gone and not shred the
tires with the fender wells?>
When I had stock steel Alpine wheels, I had 185 75 13s on my car, but now
with 14inch Minilites, I squeezed 205 60 14s. They stick out a little bit
in the front, and I had to roll the fender lips so no rubbing would occur.
I don't think you can get much wider than that without flairing the
fenders.
<One last question. What's NOS mean? I read it in lots of ads, etc. And
what
are LAT wheels. Sorry for being such an idiot, but I'm new at this Brit car
thing and am trapped in the Midwest (Illinois).>
NOS New Old Stock: Parts that were originally made for your car, and may
have sat on a shelf in a box for all these years waiting for you to spend
all too much money to put on your car!
LAT Los Angeles Tiger Option: An option list you could order from when you
bought your Tiger, special wheels being one of them.
Hope this helps.
Tom
