I got tired of the rough ride of my 21" Universals! I mounted four 225-75 -15 Goodyear Wranglers to some 15" Jeep rims that were kicking around. The rims bolted to the rear hubs fine, but required 1/4" spacers and longer lugs to mount safely on the front hubs (installed the longer lug bolts with new cast iron drums). I run 25 psi in the Wranglers! The car rides like a Cadillac now! I am exaggerating a bit, but the improvement in ride and handling is like night and day! I just picked up some 16" Ford wire wheels and am wondering if I could run pick up truck radials with tubes on those! They would look better than the jeep rims!
