I have 13x7 inch rims atm but i want to soon upgrade to 14x7. However, i am in a dilemma in which my current tyres are nearly bald and i cant find the rims that i want. I have Bridgestonee eagers s340 atm. What size tyre will fit on 13inch rims and also be a low-profile on the 14inch rims??

any help will be appreciated
cheers

Not sure what you mean here?

Are you planning on getting tyres for the 13's and them put them on 14" rims down the track? cos that wont work.

I will assume you want a 14" tyre with the same overall diameter, so as not to alter the speedo. If so, please post what size tyre you currently have. Otherwise, as ChiaLX said, you can't put a 13" tyre on a 14" rim AND inflate it.

sorry guys,

Chia you answered my question.. i was hoping that i could possibly get a 13inch tyre that, down the track, i could put onto a 14inch rim but as you said that wont work.

Thanks guys

Anything in 14" with an adequate load rating will be at least 30 MM bigger in diameter. Unless the vehicle was made before 1/1/1971. Then that gives you a lot more options. It would also help if you post what width rim you intend on using.
