I was thinking to out 155/70/13 tyre on 5,5"×13 rim.
But in that case tyre is only 15mm wider than rim. 7,5 mm on each side.

I am afraid that tyre would not fit to rim and that there could be some problem while driving.
Possible tyre slipe from rim in corners

Aldo i have seen cars with wider rims than tyre....some tuned cars (do not know how their ride really is)

And 165/65/13 on 5,5"×13 rim would be more acceptable but that tyre seem to me to "big" and "wide" for R4.

I would like to hear what you are thinking about this.

Or if some one have personal experiance about this.

Thank you for reading!

And clear bodywork easily as rolling radius is less than 145 80 13
These are a few screenshots from an app from Google playstore on my phone as examples
 
Thank you Mr Reno.....

I did not know that R5 alpine came from factory with that tyre.
In that case i am safe and will go for this dimension.
