I'm sure I can save up for them.. Will be worth it. Got any good sites for nice bits like aerials, grills, clear indicators etc?

sounds allright.. sorry for sounding 'special' but how does the 2nd number affect the tyre?
and when i fitted them i think they come outta the wing a little bit, is that road legal or is it just the tyre which has to be within the wing? if its just the tyre will i get away with a bit of stretch to get it under?
EDIT: they might've been just on the edge of the wing..

something like that maybe? looks spot on tbh
struggling to find anything on ebay or anywhere cheap etc..
also the rims are 7", so 178mm, does that mean i'd need tyres with 175mm or less?
tyres confuse me like hell!!
if it helps, original wheels came with 175/65/13
