**Tire help needed**
Will a 175/70r13 tire fit on a 13x7 0 offset wheel without any issue? I have 185/70 13 tires currently and they rub even with my pulled and rolled fenders. I know they make 185/60r13 tires but they're special order and are kind of expensive. Even if I do get them I have no clue if they'll rub. Any info or advice would help

Try measuring and doing math. You'll get the answer you need.

I once had 185/60-13 rubber on 13 x 7 negative 7 offset wheels, and they only had
the tiniest amount of rubbing in back with standard fenders. But they rubbed pretty
good in front... on the inner guard lining and on the lip. Looking down from directly
above, the sidewall of tire was about 20mm (3/4") outside the standard fender.
If you have rolled the lip and pulled the guards, you should be OK with 175 wide tires.
Just get one fitted up and try it on the car at the tire shop. Drop the car and bounce
it to make sure you have clearance before fitting the others.
