<VV> Early 14 inch wheels

[Tom Hughes]

I've got Nissan 280ZX wheels (unknown backspace/from the local junkyard) on
my '63 with 195/75-14 tires. With one coil out of the front springs I had
to roll the front wheelwell lips to get clearance. The rears are fine
as-is. However, I tried putting the rears on my daughter's '64 and they
rubbed the fenders.

Here's a photo.<http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1190/4721690323_010ba3e794_b.jpg>
