Standard mk2 steel rim width? Can I fit a 185/60/13 tyre?

Hey guys
 
I've got 185/60/13's sitting on 13x6 superlights allround.
 
A mate is buying a set of wheels from the UK, so thought i might jump in on the order and buy a spare tyre for the boot.. Don't want to lash out for a 5th superlight, hoping to replace the current spare tyre on a standard mk2 steel rim with the 185/60/13. Would this fit? Cant seem to dig up the standard mk2 rim width!
 
With thanks
 
Nick

    Australian market:
    1.3 -  4.5jj x 13,
    1.6&2.0 - 5jj x 13, 
    Alloy wheel option  - 5.5jj x 13.
     
    185/65R13 on 5jj x 13 rim fits (just)

    Standard was 175 so a 185 will fit well... I have a 205 on a steel 5" but that is a stretch.... (literally).

    Just my 2.2c worth including GST....
