Thaks for the quick Reply. I was thinking more stock. I bought mine with
chromed
wheels with 15 inch radials ( will sell) but want to go back to the stock
wheels. There is some concern about the width of the wheel. I have some 4.5
inch and my tire man says he thinks I should check to see if we can safely
install some 215 85 R 16's. He thinks they should be wider inside than 4.5 ".
I have some "Firestone 16" tires on the rear now and cruise reasonably well.
