Rollin' on 20s, finally...
American Eagle, Series 221, polished, 20X8
Toyo 255/45 X 20, front and rear Er, oh, yeah, and those d@%n 1/4" spacers on the rear. Can't tuck rim, but tuckin' tire will do for now. Small fender clearance problem on right rear when bags are dumped. No problem with left. Panhard is adjusted all the way in (to pull frame to the right), but I still need another 1/4". Guess I'll have to cut and re-weld it shorter.

Iceman7642 -
Speedometer?? Oh, yeah, that thing that's supposed to tell you how fast yer going....well mine reads all over the map, like 20 when I going 50, then it goes to 45 when I slow down to 20. Did the "spin cable with a drill" exercise and I could watch the needle creep up to about 25, but it took about 30 seconds to do that, then stayed there when the drill stopped spinning. Short answer: I guess I'm looking for a new speedometer!! Long answer: The 20s are about 3/4" bigger diameter (29.6")than the 235/75R15s(28.8") that were on there, so I do expect there will be some differences.
