Re: [AMC-list] BIAS vs Radial tires on rims

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll soon have 4 (almost brand new 215/75R/14 IIRC) tires and rims from my '82 Spirit for sale (going Eagle rims all the way around once I change my axle and 30" tires)

Yeah, you would want to go wider on the rim width. I have the 6" on a set of 215s, but most of my cars I run the Chryco cop car wheels, and those are 15x7". Your Rebel is probably 5 or 5 1/2 like he said which is too narrow for 225s.
If you can't find 6" AMC wheel in a 14, Fomoco and Chryco made a lot of those and they bolt right on. Chryco uses the same center hole and the back spacing is right. Be aware that they used a lot of different wheel variations so ask a Chryco vendor. You probably want a 4 1/2 inch back spacing....Russ
