I have just purchased rose petal wheels 4.75". Will 165/70 by 10 tyres all fit under the standard bodywork. I don't want to use arches. The car is running all "s" running gear? Thanks.

165s and rose petals fit under without arches, just use the small provided spacers on the front with the longer nuts to miss caliper

It perhaps depends on what you mean by "fit under the bodywork". I would say that, strictly speaking, the bodywork does not really cover them ;)

If you want zero poke, 145/80’s on 7.5 disc & spacered drums.
