Dunlop D1 replica wheels

Post by Jasonking »

Hi all, do we think that 145/80-10 tyres will safely fit on the lookey likely D1 wheels? Or are they too wide at 5”x10? JBW seem to think they’re ok and happily fit them.

It seems like 145/80-10 tyres should safely fit on your 5x10 Dunlop D1 replica wheels based on the width and diameter specifications. The tyre is appropriately sized for a 5-inch wide wheel and should perform without any major issues.
