Has anyone fitted 205/60/13 on a dolomite?

They were already fitted to a Sprint that I bought about 25 years ago. They rubbed the rear arches and were too wide for the 5.5J wheels, so they came off quite quickly and were replaced with 185/60 Firestone Firehawks.

I tried some on a set of Minilite Sports. Same problem as GlenM, the rears rubbed the arches. However, they were from a TR7, so the offsets might have been wrong. Put 'em on the A TR7 16V, and they're fine.

The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.
