Joe, try the following sources on tires, in order of applicability to
answer your questions.
www.311s.org/tech/wheels/wheelsfaq.html At the bottom of this site you
will find a link to the next site
kmhafer.datsun510.com/wheelchart.html
www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html
Last site is www.carbibles.com and check out the section on wheels and
tires.
These 4 sites will probably give you more info than you will ever need.
Good luck, Dewey
