Aftermarket Wheels 120-130 1968

posted by  someone claiming to be Brad Davies on  Tue Dec 5 14:29 CST 2000 [RELATED]

What is the largest size of rim and/or tire that can be safely put on a 1968 122S wagon? Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I am sure there is more than one answer to this question....when I had my

    wagon I acquired ssome of the IPD 15 x 7 turbine wheels ( like Bricklin

    wheels) and used 205-60-15 with good results. The only thing that I recall

    was slightly rubbing the fat front IPD sway bay at full turning lock.

    When the same wheels were on a 122 sedan I needed an adjustable panhard

    bar to centre the axle and get enough clearance. The wagon has a much

    superior rear suspension setup including much more clearance for accessory

    wheels. The big thing on the wagon is to ensure the aluminium blocks

    in the trailing arms are in decent condition.

    I still have the IPD wheels if anyone is looking....syd
