That size is readily available as a spacesaver for the Fiat 500 I think. But, I'm intrigued to know why you'd want tyres of that size?

These are the tyres I have used on my 1967 saloon for past 10 years , and have been easy to find in past ( Bridgestone ).
I know I can use 145 , but will mean changing all round .

I understand what you mean but It is perfectly OK to have larger tyres on the rear to the front. Many cars have that. There is no point in looking/paying over the odds for a non-standard tyre. 145/80/14 was the standard factory fit size and something smaller could get you into trouble with you insurers possibly in the event of a claim?
