Cheers

You could put like 235s on if you wanted, but they would slop around shitloads, it would be very vague in its handling lol. And good luck finding them
I have 205s on my 13x7" wheels (at the front of my car) and they are great, the tyre wall stretches a nicely so it doesn't look like the tyre is too big for the wheel, and for a high profile tyre there is very little lateral movement.

Thanks Heath

I ran 205/60 & 225/60 on my 13x7 hotwires. Unfortunately you cant get anything new bigger than a 205 nowadays.
When you said they need retreads you meant you need new tyres or they have retreads?
Definately dont get retreads. More trouble than they are worth.

That PDF just told me that the widest they made was 205/60, why do we have different information?

Yoki still do the 215
I've seen em ...a mate runs a tyre store and has them in stock
The measured width on a rim is closer to 230mm
They are a fat 215

Well yeah I had heard people say that they do them, but there seems to be no official information? Why wouldn't they put that kind of information online? Surely with a product which is not hugely popular, they would want as many people to know about it as possible.
Rough price datto?

Ideal size for a 7" rim is 215's.
235's wouldn't be out of the question, maybe even wider.
Ask the tyre shop that's gonna fit them for you.
