Yeah the 185/70 would be close but not a common size. 5.5” is the rim width. I might also get the Amazon cars 1” lower springs to go with the wheels. I have 205s on the Amazon and look great but didn’t know about that wide with the ATS rims and the 142 which has a bit more conservative style I think. Any idea what would of been a wide tyre back in the 70s for the 140s. It’s mainly for looks, what suits the rims and the car to be honest.
