Clarity on correct rim and tire size for wagons. I've searched the threads and the Willys literature I have without success.
My '61 4x4 wagon came with 33x10.5 R 15 BF Goodrich MS tires. Fine for now - I like the way they look and they're great in snow (I do almost no off roading). In my quest to take this truck back to stock (over time) I would like the correct wheel size. KW and Walcks mostly sell 16" rims. My (reproduction) owners manual only mentions 15" rims with 7.00 tires. Which is stock, 15" or 16"? Tube or tubeless?
The reason I'm asking now is that someone has these rims for sale on eBay (local pick up only - the person lives in my town): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Willys-Jeep...on-/122301279683?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
They are 2x4 rims, not 4x4 rims. Other than the funky hubcap tabs, will they fit my truck? He thinks they are 15".
Finally, I have read and been told that large tires like I have now will wear out front suspension parts quicker than stock tires -true or false?
Thanks.
