Re: <VV> Early model wheels
I can pretty much guarantee you they won't fit, at least not if you intend
to run anything close to a normal height and width tire. A 6.5" wide rim
will need very close to optimum dimensions to fit an early. I think you
could get them onto a coupe, but a sedan or wagon would be really tight.
