Re: Rim questions

[IHMagellan@domain.elided]

They fit, at least some times.  I've got a set from a '64 Scout 80 on a '72
Scout II parts truck.  The only problem you may run into is with disk brakes.
I don't know if the 16" rims have clearance for the caliper.  I've run into
problems in that area on Chevy car wheels before.  It may or may not be an
issue here.

<< Hi All,
  The question I have is,Do the 16 inch rims off the Scout 80 fit on the
 Scout II?I would like to get a little more ground clearance and think the
 LT 225/85-16 tires will do this.I don't really need a wide tire I just
 want a tall one.Stockton wheel wants $100 each!!!!!  for a 16x7 rim and
 this is wwwwwaaaaayyyyy too much to spend on a rim that has no other use
 than looks.Hey Fleck what size are the rims on your early Scout?Anyone
 else have an early Scout and a Scout II they would try the rim switch?
