I have a 59 sun roof Coupe with Rudge wheels.
The previous owner purchased a set of Dunlop 205 15 R15 tires
that came with the car.
The car is running on 195 60 R15 Pirelli tires.
Any idea what the Dunlops would fit?

Re: Question about tires
I presume the rims are 4 1/2” wide? The minimum width recommended for a 205 tire is 5 1/2”. Chances are your 195s are also a bit too big for your rims. Additionally I wouldn’t be surprised if the bigger tires rubbed, but you’d have to try them to see. I don’t think you should use them.
