[Healeys] Fw: BJ8 Wheels and Tire Sizes? Final....

[Robert Blair]

Hi Listers, Thanks for all the inputs on size et al.

Seems like the best choice for the BJ8 is 5 inch rims with 185/70x15 tires.

Does anyone have any tire vendor recomendations other than Vredestein that
makes a tire in this size????
