    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    Sparxx, I know you were looking for a bit of stagger in your tire/wheel choice. With the one tires that Vamp_77 is using, you get about a 1 inch diameter difference between front and rear: Front: P215/60R14 = 24.2 in. diameter Rear: P235/60R14 = 25.1 in. diameter If you go to a...

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    Hmm...the messages with the 40 series 14" tires are almost 5 years old. The tire and wheel business has changed a lot in that time. Very few low or zero offset wheels are available in the 4x4.25" lug pattern anymore, in any diameter. And the tires that fit those wheels are slowly going out of...

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    Right, the BF Goodrich site no longer lists anything but 60 and 70 series tires in 14" diameter for the Radial TA. They do have a P215 and P225/60R14 that might fit, but since they are almost 2 inches larger in diameter than the P205/60R13 that I know fits, I would want to double check...

    Modifying Wheels For what its worth, the guys at Weldcraft Wheels (Weldcraft Wheels Wheel Widening Wheel Repairs Wheel Restoration) claim that they can weld up and redrill lug holes, although it will mess up the finish in the area worked. For best results, choose a wheel in a natural...

    Cast Aluminum spoke wheels, worth anything?

    Wow, I didn't know that you could even get the Radial TA in 235/60R13! I used to run P205/60R13 on my '76 hatch, but I was never satisfied with the combination. Either the wheel wasn't wide enough or the sidewalls weren't stiff enough. Every time I drove it hard it seemed like I either took...

    front alignment

    Jansen, Did you use the original hardware on the new A-arm? If not, was the replacement hardware identical? I haven't had an A-arm off of any of my MII's as of yet, so I don't know if they have lock washers and/or serrated washers. If the original hardware was used, then its likely just...

    front alignment

    Caster, camber, or toe-in? Caster is set by adjustment to the strut rod. This should almost never need to be adjusted except in the case of damage such as an accident, rotten strut rod bushings, or even rust through in the frame side mount. Camber is set by adjusting the top A-arm in or...

    Nice PhotoShop Restyle

    He might be off on raising the front wheel flares by 4 inches...maybe 2 inches. I'll have to get my tape measure out... I had expected to have to go to the Fox "rear sump" 5.0L oilpan. Its close to 4 inches, but you would have to place the motor to know for sure. The 3.8L V6 was available...

    Nice PhotoShop Restyle

    Merc63 found a couple of changes (extending the front wheel by 4 inches and raising the wheel flare almost to the beltline on the side) that really modernize the design when used with a lowered stance and larger wheels. These changes look good even without the convertible chop. The large...

    Adding set of headlights in grille

    I like the idea of putting the turn signals in the center mounted lights. It sure does reduce the amount of work needed to get the center lights. I've found two possibilites: Sealed beam replacements in 5.75" or 7" (Sealed Beam Conversion Lights) AutoLoc lights (Headlights - Snake Eye...
