  1. Is your crown a full japan build or was it AMI ( Australian Motor Industries ) If AMI then the rims would have been made in Aus by ROH  size as stated by Hiro.  when I changed from crossply to radials the tyre size was 175R14. However I later went for 185 R14 75.  I have had several crowns over the years MS55,s & a few MS65,s but now I only have my original 71 MS55 left got too expensive for rego & insurance for the rest. 

     

  2. If you change the rim diameter & tyre size most likely you will an error in the speedo. Your speedo will have to have a external cable gear box converter on the gear box to correct your speed readings.  I did a conversion on my 1971 MS55 about 40 years ago & had a box made up to give true speed & distance readings.  

    Leave it looking original I have seen a lot of crowns that have had mags & the like fitted spoils the image also If you go anywhere & park it wheels seem to disappear. Mine looks the same as the day it came out of the factory if you want to freshen the looks a nice set of 71 or 72 hubcaps.
