Re: [Amc-list] 15" rims for Ambo wagon?

" From: Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>

" The 70 manual says the H78-14s have 749 revs per mile. 
" Nearest 14s are 235/75 (754) or 255/70 (749) and 
" for 15s are 235/70 (752 ) and 225/75 (743).

my 'tire' program - provenance unknown - says

Specification  Sidewall  Radius  Diameter  Circumference  Revs/Mile  Difference
235/75-14         6.9in  13.9in    27.9in         87.6in        723        0.0%
255/70-14         7.0in  14.0in    28.1in         88.1in        719        0.6%
225/75-15         6.6in  14.1in    28.3in         88.9in        713        1.5%

the revs/mile doesn't agree with ken's data but i don't know how it
calculates it.

many '80s rwd mopars - lebaron, mirada, etc; all volare derivatives
afaik - have 15x7 steel rims that fit amcs perfectly, and would be
just right for 235/70s but of course don't take amc hubcaps but would
take 15" amc wheelcovers.  i imagine 15x7 mopar aluminum rims would
fit just as well but haven't tried them.
