I'm only speculating here.. I don't know for sure,

But, my guess is that the wheel opening is a bit larger on later cars. I ran into minor clearance issues when running Virgo (240 turbo) wheels on my '70, and I never had a problem with the same wheel/tire combo on later 140s.

I would guess that the early and late bolt up the same, and are therefore interchangeable (save for different light fixtures on post '72 cars)
