Brent:
I've been looking into wheels/tires also. I believe that the original
rolling diameter (with crossplys) was 23.78" diameter. I got this from
the Coker Tire website. If I've done my math correctly, your
185-80-13's would have a rolling diameter of 24.65". I've seen tires
with this kind of diameter, but I've been told the front valence has to
be trimmed to allow the tires to turn without rubbing.
Hope this helps.
