Sorry I can't help you with this one - mine is sitting on the 13" pepperpots as supplied by GTM complete with a brand new set of 185's which are now unavailable but I can't comment apart from the tyre size because I haven't driven the damned thing yet :roll:

Hi
Are you after wheel offset or just tyre size?
Both my rossa's are using 185-60-13's, if you need the offset I could take a wheel off and measure it.

Mainly rubber size. Hoping to just slap some paint on the wheels I have for now. 185 seems to be the norm so I will go for that size instead. Thanks guys

you will be fine with 155, 165, 175 or 185 !
ive run all those sizes on my 5 1/2 by 13 inch wheels
a narrow tyre has less rolling resistance than a wide one
(provided you inflate it properly)

the rossa was designed with 185s in mind and when I went with narrower
tyres steering got a LOT lighter at all speeds.
it is very clear in the build manual that you should use 185 / 60 x 13 inch tyres.
it does look sexier with 185s and I may be the only person with narrower ones fitted . . .

:-)
