P4 Mirrors and tyres

I am looking for wing mirrors for my 53 P4 and also a spare tyre that will fit the spare wheel carrire I have 185 16 C tyres on at the moment but I am not certain what may fit. Does anyone know what size may fit and profile Probablly 145 or 155 65 0r 80 profile.
I am also looking for carpets
 
Are you sure you have 16 inch wheels as the original are 15" ? 'C' rated tyres are commercial vehicle (Van) tyres and are too heavy and stiff . The originals were 6.00 x 15 Cross ply tyres with 100 % aspect ratio , ie 6" ( 152mm) wide . A 185 is over 30mm wider and that's why it wont fit in the spare wheel carrier. If you go for a smaller width radial the diameter will be too small . I fitted 185/80 x 15 Car tyres on the vehicle and had a 165/80 x15 as a spare ( Like a space saver) Other people have stowed a 185 spare deflated and then it will just fit in. Alternately one can still get cross ply tyres from a specialist
 
Thankyou, got the size wrong will try a 165 80 15
I would recommend checking with local laws that using a different size tyre as spare is allowed , I clearly marked mine for temporary use . using a different size tyre it can cause handling problems and overload the differential if used on the rear axle for any length of time . As it happened in all the time I had the vehicle I never had to use the spare.
