Subject:MB wheels and rear brakes

Vanoonies,

I'm one of the ones who bought the 16" MB wheels for my van. Finally got
everything [read money] together and got tires and had them mounted.

First if you want to keep stock rolling diameter as I did your only choices
are passenger car tires I got Kuhmo's with a load rating of 96, and I hope
it's enough strength.

Second, remember, as I did not, that the bolts holding the rear drums on
interfere with the MB wheels so must be removed to allow mounting. Otherwise
uneven mounting and wobbly wheels.

I blame it all on BenT, including steel wheel weights.
