BRMs on a ‘67 bus

[Mike F]

It’s taken nine years but I eventually got round to getting a set of BRMs for the bus, a final feature for it to match the one which was nicked all those years ago. I was advised to buy 185.65.15 tyres but having tried it seems to me they won’t fit under the bodywork. A good friend has suggested 185.60.15 but wonder if anyone else has BRMs and can check the tyres before I order them. Ta!

I had 185/65/15s on my '69 Mike, which has the same chassis as a '67.
Due to the offset of 14 they were a tight fit on the rear but cleared the inner arch when the weight was on the wheels. The issue I had was the fronts rubbing on the arches when cornering with a stock width beam fitted.

Thanks. I need to try again and see if they squeeze in.

Took some time to pluck up courage but today but the bullet. And yes they fit! Thanks Sparkwig!
