I suppose that there is a remote possibility (that I really hope is NOT the case) of having rear wheels that don't have exactly the same width and/or offset.


One - Vredestein is a smaller European tire mfr that has been selling in this country for at least 30 years that I personally know of (I ran a set back in the late 70's, as did a friend of mine on a Jag 2+2). Decent tires, actually, if not quite as hard-core as some.

I concur with your view. Slightly off and not as noticable with the OEM rims. And thanks for chiming in on th tires. Good to know.

Looks to be 1/4" with a straight edge and the larger tires seem to exaggerate it.
