...do I need for 14's on a Nova? Been given some 14" Vaux alloys by a mate and need tyres, think it's on 155/70/13's but the tyres aren't too clever so I need to know what size tyres to get for the 14's to retain the correct rolling diameter.

Thanks,
Matt.

surely its impossible to put 13" tyres on a 14" wheel??????

I want 14" tyres for the alloys with the same rolling diameter as the 13" tyres on the steelies on there now, ie: lower profile, so when I fit the alloys the speedo will still read correctly. Basically I need to know what was the standard tyre size for Novas that originall came with 14" wheels.

yeah my 185/60/14 tyres on my GSi are almost the same size as the 175/65/14 tyres on a set of GTE alloys I have spare. according to the brochure the GTE came with 175/65/14
