Re: [AMC-List] 4.0L in Eagle

[" Russell T. Neyhart" <rtneyhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

...I have 6.5x15 Cherokee/Grand Cherokee wheels on mine, http://home.earthlink.net/~rtneyhart/, with 215/65-15 tires.  There are 1-1/2" spacers installed in the pictures with the center caps on.  The earlier pictures have no caps as the center of the rear axle protruded too far to install them.
