    So what would be the slimmest tyre you could fit to a 7" wheel?

    I'm not sure, someone else would have a better idea than I.

    I know the old chap who used to own the van had some real skinny tyres on the standard rims, probably the same as factory.

    I now have 8 x 14 inch rims all round with 215/65/14 on the front.

    I'm hearing you Vombil.

    I'm chasing a set of 6 or 7 x 14's to replace front rims. I have Mullins rims (alloy centres welded to steel rims).

    I may get a set of Dragways from Ian Splatt. If I am doing that I might as well bight the bullet and go 15's all round.

    What width were they?

    Mine rarely hit the guards, only on full lock reversing up the driveway, that little gutter bump. The tyres are over 10 years old. Time to re shoe.
