Is it possible to fit 215/55R13 ZZR on a 6 inch wheel?

Personally I think that'll be a bit of a stretch (or whatever the opposite of stretch is).

If you want wide tyres then get the 8" wheels.
If you want the 6" wheels then the 185/55/13 ZZRs exist for those.

Not sure why you'd want to mix n' match the two, other than a cost saving exercise?

I have 4x 6" wheels.

ZZR 185/55R13 from Caterham have a softer compound for the fronts than the rears... hence the question.

I'd go for 185 all 'round if I were you. For the majority of Caterhams a staggered set-up is inferior to a square one.
