Grigg,
I completely agree, I love the eight hand hole rims and if I can still work with those rims that would be ideal. Do you have any idea where I could find tires for those rims? When I was driving this in high school my boss was kind enough to buy me two new tires for it. I think he was concerned with me running around on 15 year old rubber. He took them to the local Jack's Tire and Oil which is a truck tire shop and they said they only had two tires left in the whole country. Those would be the ones my boss bought. If there are tires that will fit those old rims then I'd love to keep them.
Thanks for your help.
