I know  it's been discussed over the years, and there is a website 
somewhere that  talks about different tire and wheel sizes.... but I can't seem to 
find  it.

I have an opportunity to get a set of allow wheels and tires that  came of 
an EM.  The tires are 180/60 R14.  I'm putting them on a 64  Spyder.  Any 
idea how well they might  work?

Thanks,

Dale, they are a bit short, even for an early model. A 195/60-14 is  about 
1/2" taller and about the minimum I would use on the lighter early model.  I 
would go larger than that on a late model. How wide are the  wheels?
