Just got my BRMs....for my 67 split panel. What size tyres do people recommend...was thinking 185/60/15s. Will have 80-100kilos in the back most of the time, on a 1600 with IRS and Lbug box, so no barnstormer or racer.

you could fit a 205 on the back and the 185's on the front.
depends on what look you're after.
Personally I like the bigs and littles look.

Or 165 / 195 combo depending on clearances at the back.

We put my Radars under pmgbus' 64 highroof singlecab last night for a bit of fun.
it hasn't got a beam in it at the moment, so we pushed them in about 5" and sat them all the way up in the arches.
Man they looked sweet under there with the 145 Michies.
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.

hmm, not a big fan of whitewalls on alloys.
I think they look better on stock rims.
but hey, it's your car, not mine.

maybe have a set of stockies with whitewalls, and the BRM's seperate?

I was struggling with 205's on the back had to go with 185's
Luckily I know the tyre place pretty well and they fitted one tyre at a time for me to try.
