i think i had a 165/60r/13 on my old super s original rims..

depends on the width.... my spare wheel is a 165/70/R13... im pretty sure if u go down to the local tyre shop they can fit the tyres to ur preference...

woops.... sorry guys, i forgot too mention that the rims are 13x7 pos 10-11 offset.

make sure the tire shop will do it as stretching tyres isn't done at every shop...
as aerosols or other methods need to be used to get the tyre on the bead

old thread but wtf, why would you put 155 or even 165 on 13x7? Get some 185/60, should be able to get advan A048 tyres in that size

I used to run exclusively 205/60R13 A048 on 13x7, never paid more than $40/tyre second hand from Aussie Racing car owners. That was on an old datto though, not sure if they'd be too wide for a micra.

Thread pitch is 12x1.25mm

basically its for the style.

lots of drifters have heaps of stretch.
It makes your JDM x 1000

for example

each to their own I guess, just sounds like wasted potential to me
