<VV> Re: [FC] Not one, not two, but THREE rim sizes for FCs!!!!

[Mikeamauro@aol.com]

Someone posted the info below, that seems to indicate a suitable 14" rim, 
wider than stock 5" ,for FC application. My assumption has been that a true FC 
rim has a modified inner bead, allowing for tie rod clearance. This FC rim was 
called a "J-mod" rim. Thus, the only possible way to go to a wider rim for FC 
application was through the use of a 15" (or larger" rim)....the larger rim 
diameter making the tie rod clearance a moot point. Is it possible that a 14" 
rim, wider than the stock 5", is available with the correct FC, J-Mod 
characteristics?
