Tire size

I have Diamondback 225/75/15 wide whites installed on my 1950 Standard Eight and have never had any difficulties changing the rear tires if I do two things:

1. Remove the fender skirt

2. Jack up the car anyplace but on the axle. I use a scissors jack that I place under the frame just forward of the rear wheel. This lifts the entire car up, allowing the rear wheel to drop far enough past the body that removing it becomes a piece of cake.

I also have NAPA 94080 shocks installed.

All the best,

Mark
