Quickie wheel/tire question 140-160 1972

Hmmm...well, yea. Magnets in the trees work for that, but I tried that last November and came to realize that it really costs you in the traction department. That's how I put the Power Wagon in the soup.

Thanks for the tire size recommendation. Geez...you're running 205/75? On which car? that's huge. I thought I was nuts with (a small) 205/70 on the 1800. Of course, I've got fat 7" Jeep wheels...

Only problem is that the turbo wheels ain't exactly stock, and the outer lip is definitely further to the outside. But I think it will work. Of course, I'll have to curl the inner fender lip... But I think that is all. And its rusty enough in those areas that a pair of fingernail clippers should do the trick.

Cheers,
Matt
