Mike,
I think the greetings of "Hello Sailor" will wear a bit thin by the end of the trip

Here is what I am up against. Three wheels: one 18 inch off the 12/4 "Y" van, 16 inch off the 12/4 sedan, 17 inch off the Morris 8 van all in production together. Don't you just love the Poms!

From the left:

18 inch correct "Y" wheel blocked up to about the height of 5.00X18 tyre
16 inch car wheel originally 5.00X16 but this has 6.00X16. Jeep tyre also fits OK.
17 inch wheel of the 8cwt or "Z" van with 4.50X17 tyre

Lots of Tilleys had non-directional pattern and I suppose the "Y" van wouldn't look too bad with them.

You want to turn heads in Normandy? A set of DUKW 11.00-18s should do the trick Make it look like an ant in gumboots. Wouldn't have to bother changing the diff either. May even get you across the channel. 'Hello sailor'

Hope this may be of some help.

After looking at the car with the "fat" 6.00X16 wheels on I think I will stick with that. They look good and I am sure will drive better.

There is so much to be done, the time and expense of finding and shipping 18" wheels is not cost effective. Thanks to everyone who has been looking for me.

Hi Lang, I can help myself to the two rims I've spoken to you about.
Moving house this weekend and setting up the testosterone zone I expect early in the week. Just need to know what to do with these wheels logistically for you. Cheers Tim

Lol...cheers Tim

Tim,

Thanks for enquiring for me but I will leave your Ford wheels now I have a set of Morris ones (although they are not perfect will do the job)

Thanks again.

Lang
