[QUOTE="animal, post: 597025, member: 4274"] Hi Mike .. re what you said " I managed to compare these 5.5 wide wheels to some new 356 5.5s and they are exactly the same dimensions so the 5.5 dimension must be measured from somewhere else!" The width is measured from the inside bead not the actual lip to lip width (assumption what you may have done here) so what you thought were 6.5 are actually 5.5's http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/wheel_fitment.html I've also run 165/65/15's on a lowered bus - just for info ... when you say they don't clear the wheel arch do you mean you can't get them onto the drum (see threads re fitting to lowered buses ie: unbolting shock mount, etc, etc) or when you fit it to the drum the tyre rubs on the arch (offset is way out) ?
