So all K11 Micra wheels are a minimum of 5J? I need some wheels to put 185 tyres on, don't suppose anyone has some spare 13" steelies?

Measure rims in inches... do tyres in mm...
HAH HA !!! there we have it, cheersJ stands for "joule" and iirc it's the measurement for bead to bead. Not rim to rim

Wait my bad.
J isn't anything to do with the width.
the number denotes the width in inches from bead to bead.
The letter "J" or "JJ" or "H" denotes the rim shape

Well I'm after 5" wide wheels! I did wonder what the difference between J and JJ was...

Assuming they're all the same width wheels on K11s then your maximum is 185; I ran 185/60R13 on my track Micra with some worn Yokohama A048. The grip was impressive and you could actually feel what the car was doing thanks to the herculean strength of the sidewalls. Pretty sure I was boiling the PAS fluid after 5 laps of Cadwell Park though...
