Pretty sure nobody cares but I bolted a 140 wheel onto the left-front of the 850 last night. The 140 wheel fit over the hub perfectly. There was a close clearance to the body of the brake caliper, about 1/8" so nothing to get excited about. No other clearance or rubbing issues noted. Only drove it up and down the block though I did make sure to turn at full lock both ways a few times.

Tire was 195/65R15, wheel dated 1973 (I believe there were different widths, 4.5" and 5.5"?).

Rear fitment still unconfirmed.
