Default Different width rims on 68

I found a two AG and two AZ rally wheels on my 68, on opposing corners. I believed the AG to be 7 inch wide and the AZ to be 8 inch wide. I moved them so both the AZ are on the rear. There are 225/70 tires on all four. I can't see how leaving them this way would affect anything. Am I missing something?

You are correct regarding the widths of the rims. I seriously doubt you will have any issues with them mounted in the manner you have them. Since the tire sizes are the same, you probably wouldn't even notice a difference if you decided to rotate them either.

On another note, the AG's being a one year only wheel, if you do decide to change them out to AZ wheels, don't be to quick to get rid of the AG's, especially if they are undamaged.

Good luck... GUSTO

No, unless you want two more AGs or two more AZs.
