<VV> EM Wheels = 4 3/4" - 5 bolts (GM Std ?)

GM wheels of the same era are also 4 3/4" - 5 bolts, and have been widely 
used on Corvairs.

The rim widths vary, and together with increased diameters, can cause issues 
with the tires rubbing the inside of the front wheel openings

Add this to wider tire profiles and you'll find there's a lot to consider, 
although I think the advantages are worth the hassle

Inside wheel wells seams are sometime mangled to bend them away from larger 
tires - aarrgghh !

Have fun !
Charlie
