by Nick over 50 Sat Dec 04, 2010 5:52 pmOn my 1967 A100 VAN, I'm replacing the 225/75/15 tires that were put on the original rims years ago, and I noticed that there is a little ruB mark inside the front wheelwell. I'm thinking that these tires are a bit big, what do you suggest to replace these tires on original rims, 215s? (the manual says the original tires were 775/15s) I hope I get this done before the snow flies, thanks.
