checked--a few years ago--Dayton didn't offer 5.5" rims (5" or 6"
only). I have Dayton 72-spoke 6" rims on my BJ8, with Vredestein
185/70HR-15 tires (I'm on my third or fourth set). The
wheels/rims stick out more than I like--I think 5.5" would be
better--and the rear tires rub against the rear rebound block
bolts in very hard cornering. But handling and grip are very
good, even in the wet. When I bought them, nearly 30 years ago,
Dayton quality was considered much superior to Dunlops, which were
made in India at that time. There's another brand available
now--'MWS' or similar--and I think they may be contemporary
versions of the Dunlops. Best tires I ever had were Yokohama
A321s, but they haven't been available in a couple decades.

Shop around, I think you can beat Moss on price. There's a
'British Wire Wheel' company, but I don't think they're related to
the outfit Bruce Erfer sold long ago.

<blockquote type="cite">Hi all,
<br>
I’m getting closer to having to buy wheels and tires for my ‘67
BJ8. When I say closer I mean a year or so but I like to plan
ahead. My car will not be concours correct or be entered in any
car judging at shows. It’ll be a driver that won’t see any track
time of any sort. That being said I’m wondering what everyone’s
thoughts are on wheels and tires. I plan to put chrome wire
wheels on. I don’t want Minilite’s. So, here are my questions:
<br>
<br>
1. Dunlop style(e.g. Moss) versus Dayton(e.g. Hendrix)?
<br>
2. Wheel size—15x4.5 60 spoke; 15x5 72 spoke; or 15x5.5 72
spoke?
<br>
3. Tire Brand?
<br>
4. Tire Size?
<br>
<br>
I’m not a bargain basement shopper so I’m willing to pay for the
best combinations that make sense. I realize there’s a lot of
personal preference so I hope I’m not gonna start a war with
these questions!
<br>
<br>
Thanks everyone!
<br>
Bruce
