Re: [Amc-list] ramblings of a twisted mind and Head grooving (Ranger axle in American)

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

S-10 two wheel drive rear is 54" Wheel mount surface to WMS.
Pre 93 Ranger 2wd is 56.5" WMS to WMS.

It makes the Ranger a perfect width. S-10 is actually too narrow!

I've just been playing around and 165/80/15 tires are just about the same as a E78-14" in overall size.
I have two 15x4" stude wheels allready, two more would give me perfect skinny driver wheels and tires.

I believe this is all just wishful thinking anyway.
