a lot of Sprint owners encountered rubbing in the inside of the back wheel arches from 185/60 tyres on Sprint alloys.
(It didn't occur on every Sprint though.)

My concern is that an ET31 wheel may have the same problem:

If you read my post on Monday, 10th December 2018 as follows, it might give you some insight into why some Dolomite Sprint owners experienced the rubbing problem with 185/60 R13 tyres on Dolomite Sprint alloy wheels, whilst others did not:

I have got loads.

I also have the 175/70VR13 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 that was an OE tyre https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/pirell ... -cn36.html

Contact me at Longstone Tyres if you need some wheels. I bought a load a while ago because my Dad has a Dolly and we wanted to go Racing which we did at Portimao. It was fantastic
