Alskin, I have the same set-up on my '78 (Federals instead of Yoko's). And your car's stance seems spot-on!Matt at MWB recommended 14 inch rims with 185/55 R14 yokohama tires. lowered 1 inch for a good stance. So that what I did on my 1982 X1/9
The 175/65 and 165/70 are nearly the same diameter (the 165 is 2mm taller), the 185 is 10mm shorter and the 195/55 is 15mm shorter. This is a fast tool to see the effect of different tire sizes: https://tiresize.com/comparison/Thinking of Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2.
Now, it comes in three sizes, 175/65R13 80T, 185/60R13 80H and 195/55R13 80V, the circumfence is nearly the same for all of them and with the original 165/70R13
What size would you recommend.
I like the 185 60's. One key note (I think I was the first to order here): They are made in Russia. Who knows given world events if there will a be a supply chain issue.Thinking of Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2.

I'd put in a vote for the H and V rated sizes you listed, for the superior construction, over the T. Not that an X can go 130* mph.Thinking of Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2.
