Cant help you with the sizes but getting them fitted can be a nightmare as most mainstream garages won't do it . Searched for ages to find one that wound fit 135's to my 5 1/2in sprintstars back in my beetle days . Head to the back streets or find a friendly garage , the one i found lets me fit tyres myself so i dont damage my ronals .

I imagine you would be looking at something along the lines of 185/50/13 or possibly 175/50/13.

Check the MyTires website for size availabilty and price guide…

185's a no go but…

Continental
Summer tyres  SportContact
175/50 R13 72V mit Felgenrippe  With mytyres.co.uk only ? 49.60

This will give you roughtly an inch of stretch on each side of the tread on an 8 inch rim.

This will be a very small overall tyre diameter though. Your speedo wil be MILES out.
