        DUH...the 16" dimension is wheel DIAMETER, thus the ride height
        increase over a 14" DIAMETER wheel will be 1/2 of the increase
        in DIAMETER...or  *1* inch.

        The ride height is the distance measured from the center of HUB
        to the ground and is composed of the wheel RADIUS + tire section
        height.
