...Steel wheels ....I thought they were 4.5" ? I've put 175/70/14's on :thumbs:

They can be 5" - I've got a set of each. Have a look at your's if you haven't done so already.

70 profile is ok and probably looks better. I reckon 80 is closer to the original profile of the 175s. I've got 80 on mine and the speedo reads very accurately in fact it's VERY accurate i.e. it agrees with the speed sensor sign in our village. With this in mind perhaps they might be just a little large because aren't speedos calibrated to read a few mph fast - my 370Z does in comparison to the same sign.

I'll have a look Rob when I change them over, are they stamped on the backs?
