You have to be careful here. I think Michael has a round-wheelarch Midget,
since it is a '74. You can put pretty much any tire on that unless it rubs
on the inside (then you can go with wheel spacers). A 1500 has square
arches, and there isn't very much space in the wheelwell. I have tried to
find out what rim/tires combinations will fit the square rear, but didn't
get much response from the list at the time.
Specifically I had wondered if a 5" or 5.5" ich rim (Panasport,
Revolution, Torque Thrust D) would fit with 165/70 or better 185/60.
I would also be interested in having the stoch (early style) steel wheels
widened. Any opinions?
