What a surprise this find was!!
Earlier this year I got some a extra pair of tires and rally rims from Low 87 (thanks Greg ) at a swap meet. I have been swapping those tires out since my alignment has been bad. No sense in using a good new tire on bad alignment. I finally decided to get the front end going and buy a new tire. I went to Discount Tire and asked the guy to go ahead and take off the two old tires off the rally rims (one of my factory and one of Greg's old ones) while he was installing the new tire as well. He placed the used rims in the back of the truck and I started looking at them. He said they looked like 8". Well I got home and sure enough between the outer beads is a good 8" All this time I thought I had 15x7 instead of 15x8. So next time new tires come into the picture time for some big boys
