Hi all,
Could i ask what are the correct original standard tyre size for the V8 ??. I have just managed to get an Mot on my 75 V8 after a few months of restoration so back on the road she goes after a 7 year break !!. The old chap at the garage who sorted my brakes advised me that the tyres are well past their sell by date and to replace ASAP also that they are not the correct size being 165R14. Am i correct in thinking that the correct original size is 185/80/R14 for a V8 and also whats the widest size that you could fit to standard rims without clearance issues would the widest be 195/80/R14,
Cheers
Colin
