I wouldn't recommend this, I drove one that belonged to a friend of mine fro quite a distance and the stering wheel wa jumping al over the place. You have to consider the "stupid factor" o some modifications.

HERE we go again this has been thrashed untill its in tatters if you cant get a direct replacement youve got your work cut out. Try finding replacements for wide 5s down to a total revamp to 40 or later but if you change / modify/ rework any part the flow on can be mind blowing as Ron said it steered like an unbroken bull so be careful and look at the whole picture not just a quick fix [trustme ive been doing the numbers on wide 5s for over 2 years and still no solution thats just a drum replacement ]

Merc wheels work, show enough fin to be cool, and keep the scrub radius under control.
