widest tires on stock rims?
i have the 13" on my 79 and was wondering if anyone knew off hand the width of the rim and how wide a tire i can put on it. i would like to shove a 205 which i believe is the widest you can go on a 6.5" rim. at least i hope these are 6.5". anybody?

ok, i used the search function. i know stupid me. and the debate seems to be between 205 and 195 with a 60 section sidwall. which do you guys suggest and i forgot how it will affect the acceleration by going with a smaller diameter tire. i believe it improves acceleration a bit doesn't it? like changing your final drive ratio? its too early still. ah, my head..............

Stock aluminum wheels are 5.5" wide at least for 81-85, and the stock steel wheels on the base model were 5" wide. I've seen 205's fit just fine on the former.
