I have a 88 cabriolet which has 170/70 r13 tires on it. Can I put 185/70 R 13s on it? And what is the differance?

Thanks in Advance

The 180's are 15mm wider than the 170's and slightly larger in diameter. The larger diameter will affect your speedometer accuracy but only slightly and the taller 180's WILL wear into accuracy.
