Adam69 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Good Morning Triumph owners I am new to the site and would like to ask a question regarding wheel sizes for my 1969 Herald 13/60 please ... I have just had some work done on her and have purchased some new wheels from RimmerBros , they are the 5.5 x 13J wide profile and wanted to ask can I go to 175 size without any body or part adjustments or is 165 the biggest ?

Wendy Dawes Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Hi Adam cant give you a definite answer but when I bought my Herald it had 175 tyres fitted to the original 4.5 j wheels, it ran and steered ok with no trouble or modifications, but on those narrower wheels they were too wide so I put 165 Tyres on. I believe that the 175 were fitted on the courier van with 5.5 j wheels so you should be ok apologies if I’m wrong Edited September 6, 2022 by Wendy Dawes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosbif Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 There are a number of sites that give the range of tyre widths for various wheel widths, they don't always agree.
