You can get 175 60 13 on no problems, doubt anything wider would go.

185s do go on, but 175s are a better choice.

I ve just done serach on mytyres and you can get the 185/60-13's for £5 less than the 175's. Are the 175's better because they fit easyer or is there something else?

would assume that 175's are better cos theres less chance of scrubbing
