Will tyres from a 1980 244 steel wheel fit on GLT "virgo's"?

Hi, errm.... if you seen my car on the members cars section then you will have noticed that it has the original (14"??? will someone confirm this?) wheels on it. I have been offered some GLT "virgo" alloy wheels and have asked Pete Javen (another 244 owner near where I live) whether he thinks that they are the same size, and he seems to think so. The thing is that all four tyres on my steel wheels are practically new and they all match, therefore I would wwant to swap them over onto the new GLT alloys, but I need to confirm that this will be possible because I cant afford to be buying a new set of tyres! I cant look on the tyres for any sizes at the mo' because the car is stored at my nanas and I only go down there every two weeks or so. You get what I mean.........

I think you can't do this, sorry. GLT Virgo alloys are 15". Tyre size for them is either 195/65/15 or some people like 205/65/15's.

Hi, checked out your car, it looks great - wish my engine was as clean as that :hissyfit: As Alec says, you definately can't swap the tyres, yours are 14inch (you can just see the size in one of your pics) - keep an eye on the wanted section, you may be able to trade your wheels/tyres for some 15s (assuming your willing to part with yours !). Cheers
