Danny,
Here is a list of the wheels that will fit a Spridget. I think there are
some very obscure cars that will work as well, but if its harder to find
than the Crosley or the Opals, You probably wont find a set. There are
other better prepared than me to tell you about the maximum tire sizes.
Austin-Healey Sprite
Crosley - all '39-'52
MG Midget
Jensen Healey
Opel Manta, Kadette
GM L-body
Buick Skyhawk '75-'81
Chevrolet Vega, Monza '71-'81
Pontiac Sunbird, Astre '76-'81
Oldsmobile Starfire '75-'81
Take care,
Patton

Subject: RE: Wheels.
Speaking of wheels, again: sometime back, I believe, someone offered
the idea of using Vega wheels on a Midget. Is that a real option?
And if so, can one use the Vega size tires as well? We're talking
RWA midgets. I'm not exactly ready to do so, but I have fond
memories of my Vega's wheels and tires and the idea of combining that
old car with my Little Guy is tempting. I seem to recall some
problems with the lug nut threads?
