Tires for Riviera's, Need to find 1 or 2 tires Options

[solex]

Hello,

The PO installed 3 very good tires Centennial MKII and 1 very good Toyo 300 on my car. I would like to match the tires and have found out that these tires are no longer produced. I have checked around but no one has any old stock, I also called Toyo and Dunlop/Goodyear.

I am assuming that the Riviera's are 4.5 in wide since the 165 fits well on the rim, is this true, if not what is the widest tire I can fit on the rim?

Also were can I get tires for this diameter/width rim no one seems to carry 165R15's? I am working on other things on the car and eventually will go with a set of 5.5's (or larger) but just can't swing it now.

Thanks,
Dan

It don't really matter Dan. The 195's should fit just fine. 205's might rub the fender. If ya don't mind rolling the fender, 205s are a better size in my 2 cent book. I know everyone bashes rivs, and thinks Fuchs are the only way to go, but I like Rivs just fine. Makes the 914 look like the hot wheels car it is. I have Westerns on my driver and love them.

i thought i was the only one in this world that thought Rivs were okay looking....im not alone...
