Should have no problem with a big selling item like that.
OK, I'm being sarcastic.

In reality, 12" whitewall tyres were almost unheard of in Australia even back when our Datsuns were new. Yes, they did exist, but were never popular, so your best bet is most likely to buy a set of new tyres & get Mr Whitewall [or whoever] to do the whitewall job on them as several others have already done.

The only other way out is to specially order them [assuming that anybody actually makes them] & get them imported.

Coker Tire in USA sells 12" whitewalls.

12" whitewall tires were "standard equipment" (n/c) on USA 1200s. It's right on the window sticker:

E10's original Yokohama tire

ddgonzal's original Bridgestone tire

Ive got sumitomo whitewalls on my hr but pretty sure 13's are the smallest they make. Maybe you could just get them painted on to your standard tyres i gad this done once and they came up ok

Where are you junior? As in, where are you located.

There's a reknowned whitewall tyre specialist in Adelaide. Mr Whitewall.

He uses all the right gear.
Depends where you are though?
