Been there. Done that.

Identical, as near as I could tell. Dean Nelson, the SAAB freak from whom
I purchased my Midget, used to run the car with 14" MGB wire wheels on the
back all the time. Dean had 165-14 tires on them. This gave him a bit more
cruising ability with the 4.22/1 final drive. I used them for the same purpose
until I swapped into disc wheels. I sold the MGB wheels to netter Dave
Ambrose, as I recall.

Remember? Who the hell talked you into it? :-)
