Hers are 165 60 R13
Would they fit?
Thanks

They are both 13s so physically they will fit, but your rolling radius will be altered so the speedo will be miles out.

oh no, the change would not be that significant from a tire being 65 to one that is 60!!

So there would be hardly any change?
It would only be temporarily any way. Just need them on, and then get my tracking sorted.
If i were to upgrade to alloys in the future, would the tracking have to be done then as well?
