Replacement size for tires 165SR14?

My MGB has old Dayton tires on it that need replaced. The tire size doesn’t even exist anymore, 165SR14. Can someone suggest some replacement sizes? The replacement tire CANNOT be any wider because I am already getting some inner-fender rubbing in the rear. 1972 MGB, non-stock 6” rims.

Thanks,
Deadeye

You've got a real problem as the narrowest tires readily available are 175 width.

Yup, Coker tire, or new rims with a different offset.

edit: I looked up a 1972 MGB and they originally came with 155R14's, except for the MGB GT which came with 165R14's.
