You welded up the wheel, was is straight ? I have L-60's on the back currently and they squeeze onto the 7" wheel. I had thought of doing you did, put a 8" wheel together put I don't have the means to make it true. I suppose I could rig something up. I know they make 15x8 but I don't like how the trim ring looks. I would want the extra 1" all toward the inside. Then I'd squeeze an 295/50 on there. I know I'd have to move the springs in tho.
I have a lathe to work with which makes things a lot easier.....and factory steel wheels are not exactly true. Even new ones are not perfect and after 40 years on the road, they can be pretty crappy.
I knew the 14 and 15" centers on the rallye wheels were the same but never messed with the road wheels. Makes sense that the centers in them are the same size too.
Thanks Eric. I don't believe Goodyear offers those tires anymore do they ?
I seriously doubt it. They're probably at least 15 years old.
Some background, had to wait quite awhile to get that shot, very crowded parking lot at Paradise, WA. Located at 5400 feet (tree line), in the Mount Rainier National Park. Best part was the drive up and back, second clip, except for some lane closures that day. Part of an organized cruise with the local Walter P. Chrysler club a couple of summers ago.
